Cartography and Geographic Information Science depends upon the unpaid work of many scholars from around the World. This crucial work may be “one of the thankless tasks of academe” (Hackett, Vann, & Ribes, Citation2017, p. 327). There is a small remedy for thankless tasks: abundant thanks!
Reviewers are crucial to the community of scholarship in any discipline. As the editors of another journal put it so clearly: “Reviewers are the voice of community expertise, speaking at a critical moment to authors and editors about the quality and potential of manuscripts” (Hackett, Vann, & Ribes, Citation2017, p. 327). Without reviewers, there is no peer-reviewed literature.
The Editor wishes to thank those who submitted reviews over the last year. There were 249 reviews, produced by 173 volunteers. Less than half of the reviewers reside in the United States; 27 other countries are represented. Truly, this community is global in scope.
