emails were returned as undeliverable. Response rate was 61.7% (137/222), with an acceptance rate of 46.7% (64/137) which means an efficiency rate of 28.8% (64/ 222). Response rate was significantly higher (57.7% vs. 42.3%) and acceptance rate was non-significantly higher (51.9 vs. 39.7%) among non-US peers.

However, we consider that the method for peer-reviewers’ selection in the journal Pharmacy Practice is the best possible strategy to identify the real peers with similar research interests.
