Peer Review Week (September 21–25 this year) serves as an annual reminder to thank referees for their service to the scientific community. We hope we express our appreciation and acknowledge in an ongoing way the central role of peer review in science publishing, but we will take this annual reminder to say “THANK YOU” to JBC's Editorial Board Members (EBMs) and to the other reviewers who help us maintain the quality and reliability of JBC's content.The theme of this year's Peer Review Week—Trust in Peer Review (1)—hits especially close to home for those of us involved in JBC. When I began my appointment as Editor-in-Chief, we gathered input from authors and other scientists in the field as to what they thought about JBC. What are the strengths and weaknesses? How do they think JBC fits into the scientific publishing ecosystem? What do they most appreciate about engaging with JBC? The clear message we heard time and again was that researchers knew they could count on JBC to publish solid science that stands the test of time and that JBC was a journal they could trust.We also sought input from our EBMs, who bear the largest burden in reviewing papers submitted to JBC. EBMs thus play a critical role in maintaining consistency and high standards in our review process and, as a consequence, in building the trust that our authors had described.

我们信任 JBC。

同行评审周（今年 9 月 21 日至 25 日）作为年度提醒，感谢审稿人为科学界提供的服务。我们希望以持续的方式表达我们的赞赏并承认同行评审在科学出版中的核心作用，但我们将通过这一年度提醒向 JBC 的编辑委员会成员 (EBM) 和其他提供帮助的审稿人说“谢谢”我们维护 JBC 内容的质量和可靠性。今年同行评审周的主题——同行评审的信任 (1)——对于我们这些参与 JBC 的人来说尤其切合实际。当我开始担任主编时，我们收集了该领域的作者和其他科学家对 JBC 的看法。有哪些优点和缺点？他们认为 JBC 如何融入科学出版生态系统？他们最欣赏与 JBC 合作的什么？我们一次又一次听到的明确信息是，研究人员知道他们可以依靠 JBC 发表经得起时间考验的扎实科学成果，并且 JBC 是他们可以信赖的期刊。我们还寻求承担最大负担的 EBM 的意见审查提交给 JBC 的论文。因此，EBM 在维持我们的审查过程的一致性和高标准方面发挥着关键作用，因此，在建立我们的作者所描述的信任方面发挥着关键作用。我们已经知道我们信任这个小组来管理期刊的内容。然而，我们并没有...
