Flora XXX (2016) XX–XX

Peer review is the cornerstone of the scientific publishing process. Experts volunteer their time to provide scientific critiques of manuscripts submitted to our journal that assist the editors to make informed decisions about which to accept. The increased pressure to publish in high-impact journals, the growing demand to turn around articles in a timely manner and the emergence of many new journals have placed great strain on our valued pool of reviewers. Therefore the Editors of Flora express our sincere thanks to the individuals listed here for contributing their valuable time in 2015 to help maintain the high standard of our journal.
