ANNOUNCEMENT

2016 best reviewer awards for CGIR

Corporate Governance: An International Review (CGIR) is fortunate to

have many talented and dedicated individuals who offer their time and

expertise to do reviewing for our journal. We are also fortunate to

have more than 60 dedicated and established governance scholars

serving on our editorial review board, and over 2,000 ad hoc reviewers

in our online database. Of course, some reviewers stand out for pro-

viding consistently exemplary work for the journal, and we are highly

appreciative of their efforts. Notably, all of this work is voluntary and

the only compensation is a free subscription to the journal and a listing

on our masthead for those who serve on our editorial review board.

Clearly, this professionalism and dedication need to be recognized

and celebrated.

In order to recognize some of the truly exceptional reviewers here

at CGIR, the journal conducts an annual “best reviewer”award in order

to recognize those individuals who truly stand out. Our policy is of not

repeating winners in a 3‐year period as we would like to enlarge the

number of scholars which we would like to recognize for their great

contribution to the journal.

Listed below are the previous award winners:

2007 ‐Till Talaulicar, PhD, Universität Erfurt, Germany

In 2016, we are pleased to announce that Peter Jaskiewicz is one

of the two reviewers recognized for their contributions to our jour-

nal. Peter is a Professor in Enduring Entrepreneurship at the Telfer

School of Management, University of Ottawa. Peter received a PhD

in Management at the European Business School (EBS) and held pre-

vious positions at the EBS and University of Alberta and University

of Concordia. His contribution to the journal has been excellent as

he has provided a high number of quality and timely (with an average

of about 23 days) reviews. In 2016, Peter handled 8 manuscripts and

earned a perfect average reviewer score of 3.0 (out of 3.0). We com-

mend Peter for his extensive and developmental reviews.

In addition to Peter, we would also like to recognize as an out-

standing reviewer, Federica Pazzaglia. Federica is a Senior Lecturer at

the Quinn School of Business, University College Dublin. She received

a PhD from Alberta University and held previous positions at Alberta

and Manitoba University. In 2016, Federica handled 10 manuscripts

with a perfect average reviewer score of 3.0 and a low turnaround time

(about 25 days). Thanks to her timely and remarkable reviews, Federica

contributed significantly to the editorial review process of CGIR.

As a token of our appreciation for Peter's and Federica's service

to the journal, we will be providing them each with a plaque, similar

to our previous distinguished award winners. While this plaque could

never compensate them for their many years of training and exper-

tise as well as their many hours of extraordinary service to the

journal, it is a tangible symbol of their generous and professional con-

tributions to international corporate governance scholarship. On

behalf of Wiley‐Blackwell and CGIR, we recognize and celebrate

scholars such as Peter Jaskiewicz and Federica Pazzaglia for their

service to the field.
