Where this comes from

Abstract

Peer review is central to the integrity of scientific publishing. At IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging (TMI), thousands of reviewers and editors work each year to ensure that accepted papers meet our high standards of significance, innovation, evaluation, and reproducibility (SIER) [1]. Yet the rapid growth in submissions, the increasing complexity of papers, and the decreasing availability of reviewers place mounting pressure on the TMI peer review system.
