“First of all, I would like to thank the committee for considering me worthy of this award. I consider that reviewing articles is an important part of scientific work.At the same time that it helps to improve the quality of the journals and of the articles that appear in them, it allows to increase the critical capacity of the reviewer. In addition, it is a way to learn and broaden one's knowledge. The publication of an article is the result of a lot of work and I believe that it is everyone's job that their contribution to the scientific society has more weight. That is why I must also thank my mentors for instilling in me the importance of carrying out this type of review with great professionalism and thoroughness.”
