On behalf of the editors of IUCr Journals and the staff at the IUCr in Chester, we would like to recognise and thank you for your invaluable contribution to the journals in your role as reviewer.

2014 has been an important year for the IUCr with the celebrations for the International Year of Crystallography 2014 and the launch of IUCrJ. Thanks to your efforts, we published nearly 12500 pages and 3000 articles in the year, with 70 articles appearing in the first volume of IUCrJ.

The peer-review process is crucial in upholding not only the quality and validity of individual articles, but also the overall integrity of the science being disseminated. We greatly appreciate the important role you play in the advancement of science and the delivery of accurate peer-reviewed material to the community.

To express our gratitude, we should like to offer you the following:

• A voucher for a free article in IUCrJ. Your voucher code is gif-Kwbqid6lNH3r7hknqJb, which is valid until 31 December 2015. Please follow the links at www.iucrj.org to submit your paper.
  
  
• A voucher for 20% discount on the open-access fees for publication of articles in any other IUCr Journal. Your discount voucher code is dis-pf2gP4AGqwzaq2XsRtn, which is valid until 31 December 2015.

Finally, we thought you might be interested to know that we have launched an IYCr2014 legacy fund, to allow the good work that has been started during the International Year to be continued. You can find out more about the fund by visiting the following site http://www.iycr2014.org/legacy.

Seasons greetings and best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2015!
