Lawrence, MD Editors, Journal of Vascular Surgery Publications Alan Dardik, MD, PhD Editor, JVS-Vascular Science We are thankful for the enthusiastic work of the JVS-VS Editor, Alan Dardik. We are also blessed to have excellent Associate and Assistant Editors who helped us in 2021 to manage the increasing number of submissions, without compromising the high quality of the articles published in the JVS-VS. Drs John A. Curci, Ulf Hedin, Gale Tang, and Jose Antonio Diaz served as Associate Editors. We are also thankful to our senior consultation editors, Drs Peter K. Henke and Louis M. Messina. We give special thanks to Dr Paul J. DiMuzio, Editor for Social Media, director of the JVS journal clubs and author of JVS Press Releases, and Dr Daniel Han, who has become a master editor producing Visual Abstracts and has helped us tremendously to increase our social media presence on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms. We are thankful for the valuable contributions made by our excellent Editorial Board in 2021. In addition to the review and repeated review of a large number of original articles, our editorial board members frequently contributed to JVS-VL with commentaries and editorials. Members of the Editorial Board performed an average of one review each year, and, during 2021, this accounted for 42% of all the reviews performed. The Editors would like to recognize all the board members who will who continue their assignments in 2022.

They are our future ambassadors, reviewers, and editors. We are thankful for their interest in JVS-VS and for their hard work as our reviewers. We have listed them, together with their JVS-VS mentors. The Editors are grateful to the many clinicians and scientists who performed at least one review for the Journal during 2021. This group includes several new reviewers. These reviewers performed 51% of all reviews and contributed greatly to our peer-review process. We would like to express our gratitude to them and look forward to working with them and with many more new reviewers in 2022.
