ANNOUNCEMENT

CGIR Best Reviewer Award

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

have many talented and dedicated individuals who offer their time

and expertise to review for our journal. We are also fortunate to have

more than 80 dedicated and established governance scholars serving

on our Editorial Board, and over 2,000 ad hoc reviewers in our online

database. Of course, some reviewers stand out for providing consis-

tently exemplary work for the journal, and we are highly appreciative

of their efforts. Clearly, this professionalism and dedication need to

be acknowledged and celebrated.

In order to recognize some of the truly exceptional reviewers here

at CGIR, the journal offers an annual “best reviewer”award to those

individuals who truly stand out. Listed below are the previous award

Ireland

In 2018, we are pleased to announce that the two recipients of our

best reviewer award are Nikolaos Kavadis from the University Carlos

III in Madrid, Spain and Steve Sauerwald from the University of

Illinois at Chicago, USA. Both colleagues provided an above‐average

number of referee reports that were assigned by various Editors. All

their reports were evaluated to be comprehensive in scope,

constructive in tone, and substantially detailed as well as provided in

a timely fashion. Nikos has been a member of our Editorial Board for

quite a while, whereas Steve accepted our invitation to join the Board

in January 2019.

As a token of our appreciation for Nikos' and Steve'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 expertise as

well as their many hours of extraordinary service to the journal, it is

a tangible symbol of their generous and professional contributions to

international corporate governance scholarship.
