Editorial: Evaluation of some original articles in this issue and the duels of authors and referees

In my editorial writings, I often mention the importance of referees. In fact, even though I exaggerated, I mention “the Anatolian Journal of Cardiology owes its level to devoted efforts of serious referees and frequent trainings of authors provided by these referees”. Referees sharing this high honor have reviwed many papers, which would be rejected, with their rigorous, serious and persistent evaluations; corrections of authors according to comments, even re-writing of papers, have led the Anatolian Journal of Cardiology to have a chance to publish an original article that can be cited.
