Thanks to Our Reviewers 2019!

We would like to have all contributions submitted to the journal reviewed rigorously and fairly. At the same time, our desire is to have reviews done in reasonable time, although this is strictly linked to the quality of the submission. The objective is to produce high-quality papers, which benefit the journal but, most importantly, benefit the authors. In 2019 our journal has received nearly 1700 manuscripts, including original papers, review papers, and technical notes that have been reviewed to assess whether they merit publication. In addition, our journal in the same year has published three Special Issues. This was only possible based on the work of the editorial board. It is clear, however, that we needed to rely as well on the voluntary help of many people who devoted their time to the journal. We gratefully acknowledge the valued support of all these people who have reviewed manuscripts for Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering in 2019! …
