Editorial
Acknowledgement to Reviewers of Polymers in 2015

The editors of Polymers would like to express their sincere gratitude to the following reviewers
for assessing manuscripts in 2015.
We greatly appreciate the contribution of expert reviewers, which is crucial to the journal’s
editorial decision-making process. Several steps have been taken in 2015 to thank and acknowledge
reviewers. Good, timely reviews are rewarded with a discount off their next MDPI publication. By
creating an account on the submission system, reviewers can access details of their past reviews, see
the comments of other reviewers, and download a letter of acknowledgement for their records. In
addition, MDPI has launched a collaboration with Publons, a website that seeks to publicly
acknowledge reviewers on a per journal basis. This is all done, of course, within the constraints of
reviewer confidentiality. Feedback from reviewers shows that most see their task as a voluntary and
mostly unseen work in service to the scientific community. We are grateful to our reviewers for the
contribution they make.
