Thank you from HMPG and the Editor

 

 

The SAMJ reviewers

The Health and Medical Publishing Group and the editor of SAMJ would like to take this opportunity to thank all those individuals who participated in the peer review process during 2016. We are grateful for the expertise, insight and thoughtful critiques shared with our authors through the review process, and without which maintaining the high standard of our journal would be impossible.

We apologise if we have inadvertently excluded any individual reviewer, and to those reviewers who were recruited after this issue went to press.
