Summary form only given. This journal has enjoyed an enviable position among the top few in the field of electron devices. We are delighted and indeed proud of this accomplishment. This quality could not have been achieved without the dedicated involvement and contributions of the technical community - authors and reviewers alike - from academic, industrial, and government institutions worldwide. They have directly contributed to making Electron Device Letters what it is today. While the authors' mark of success is highlighted every month by the appearance of their papers under the Electron Device Letters' masthead, the "behind-the-scenes" efforts put forth by our reviewers go unrecognized. Here, wewould like to honor this groupof professionalsfor their continued support of this endeavor in the past year. They are the ones who manually sieve through the multitude of papers that are processed on a regular basis, providing timely in-depth technical reviews to the authors resulting in high quality, professional articles. Their selfless contribution is being recognized in this issue as we publish names and affiliations of a few as recommended by subject editors of Electron Device Letters. we congratulate the host institutions for having that foresight to endorse their involvement. This scholarly activity has benefited the society at large and nowbrings global exposure to the respective organizations. The reviewers play a key role in the peer review process and are fundamental to the success of our publication and to developments in the field of microelectronics. Although manuscripts are prescreened before being introduced into the review process, we call on all authors to adhere diligently to the guidelines published on the inside back cover of Electron Device Letters. This would not only speed up the review, but also make the reviewer's task more enjoyable. We welcome any suggestions from all stake holders to improve the recognition process and on how to build upon this Golden List.
