Journal of Clinical Medicine Exceptional Reviewers List 2026

We are thrilled to share the updated Exceptional Reviewers List 2026. This program was established to recognize and honor scholars who have consistently delivered exceptional review reports to our journal. The Journal of Clinical Medicine (JCM, ISSN 2077-0383) is committed to fostering rigorous research and promoting knowledge exchange; as such, we would like to acknowledge the vital role that our reviewers play in maintaining the quality and integrity of the articles we publish. According to surveys conducted in 2025, 93% of our authors rated the peer review process as good or excellent, reflecting the strength and effectiveness of our reviewer community.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all the reviewers who have generously volunteered their time and expertise to assist in JCM’s peer review process. Their dedication and attention to detail when evaluating manuscripts, offering valuable feedback and contributing to the academic rigor of the journal, are truly commendable.

The Exceptional Reviewers List was introduced in May 2026. Each quarter, we will be selecting a group of outstanding reviewers to announce here.
