To publish an issue of Parasitology requires lots of help from “behind-the-scenes”. Over the last year, the journal successfully published 14 issues which collectively contain just over 150 articles in total. Two issues, numbers 12 and 14, were devoted to specialist topics originating from the Italian Society of Parasitology and Avian malaria theme, respectively.
In 2023, Parasitology successfully transitioned into full Open Access. This required several structural changes in the way manuscripts were handled through the publishing process yet one key activity, the peer-review process, remained unchanged. The editorial and publishing teams understand that reviewing a paper for Parasitology is no easy task.
Indeed, this year it remains a real privilege for our authors to have such expertise on call from just under 300 scientists from across the world. Thank you, once again, for making peer-review publication in Parasitology possible!
Here, we would like to take a moment to sincerely thank all our reviewers for their pro bono services to the journal in 2023, to our authors and to science in general.
