We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each one of you who contributed as a reviewer to The Lancet Regional Health—Americas in 2024 for your invaluable contributions and expertise in the peer review process. Your diligent efforts and insightful feedback are the cornerstone of our journal's success, ensuring the publication of high-quality, impactful research. We recognize that our achievements are intimately linked to your unwavering support and commitment.
Aligned with our mission to give voice to the Americas region, we strive for a peer review process that includes voices and perspectives from the region, who we believe are best placed to provide contextualized feedback. In 2024, 53.5% of our reviewers were from the Americas region, 58.6% from North America and 41.4% from Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Regionally placed reviewers are crucial for providing insights rooted in the local context, which enriches the relevance and impact of the research we publish. We recognize the need to continue to improve our reviewer representation from the region, especially from LAC countries.
As we strive for excellence, we are also committed to promoting diversity and inclusivity within our reviewer community. In 2024, from the 817 reviewers who accepted an invitation to review, 44.7% self-identified as a woman, 50.6% as a man, 0.5% as non-binary or gender diverse, and 4.3% preferred not to disclose. While these figures suggest we are on the right path, we remain dedicated to continuing our efforts towards improvement.
A significant initiative across all Lancet journals has been the update to our Editorial Manager submission portal with Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) personal classifications, launched in September 2024. Users can now voluntarily assign these EDI classifications to submitted manuscripts or to their individual accounts to indicate their expertise. We anticipate that this feature will enhance reviewer searches and contribute to our broader diversity and inclusion goals. For more information on how to update the personal classifications in your Editorial Manager account, please contact The Lancet Regional Health–Americas at [email protected].
We firmly believe that peer review is a key part of gatekeeping scientific integrity and a task that deserves much greater recognition. The dedication you bring to your reviews not only upholds the scientific integrity of our journal but also fosters the growth and development of the broader scientific community. Thank you once again to all the 817 reviewers from 63 different countries for your exceptional contributions and dedication to our journal. Together, we can continue our mission to publish the best science to advance health in the Americas region and globally.
