Genetics and Society Thematic Issue: Acknowledgementof Reviewers

� Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013

Science & Education journal is noteworthy among education journals for having compe-

tent reviewers from the disciplines of Education, Science, Philosophy of Science, History

of Science and Psychology. Informed and competent reviewing is crucial to the integrity

and quality of published scholarly work. It is a time-consuming, arduous and mostly

anonymous and un-rewarded task, but publishers, editors, authors, readers, and the

scholarly enterprise more generally, benefit and depend upon this labour. What is more

important is that reviews do not only serve as means for making an editorial decision, but

also for assisting the authors to further improve their work. As guest editors, we have

provided comments to all authors of the articles included in this thematic issue. However,

one cannot be an expert on everything and consequently the contribution of actual experts

is always required in the review process. Thus, we are indebted to the following 30
