The SAP IG attracted 87 paper submissions and 12 symposium submissions for the 2012 Academy, all requiring reviewing. The SAP community prides itself on the constructive nature of its reviews – it’s good for authors and great for the IG as a whole. So let’s give a big thank you to all our reviewers and a special one for Viviane Sergi (HEC Montreal), SAP Best Reviewer 2012. Look out for the opportunity to sign up to review for 2013. Reviewing is good for you too!
