Since 2012, The Iron and Steel Institute of Japan has adopted a policy of sending Letters of Appreciation biannually (in October for the period from April to September and in April for the period from October to March) to recognize excellence in the work of reviewers of articles in each field published in our Institute’s two journals, Tetsu-to-Hagané and ISIJ International.

Proper reviews of articles are essential for maintaining the quality of our journals.

We therefore request the continued cooperation of reviewers of the articles we publish.
