Virology Journal Reviewer Acknowledgement 2015

Contributing reviewers

The editors of Virology Journal would like to thank all our reviewers who have contributed to the journal in Volume 12 (2015). The success of any scientific journal depends on an effective and strict peer review process and Virology Journal could not operate without your contribution.

Our record time from submission to online, open access, publication in 2015 was 36 days for a Research Article (Virol J 12:107, 2015). This is a great achievement by any standard. We look forward to your continuous support of Virology Journal either as an invited reviewer or a contributing author in the years to come.
