Peer review with us

Becoming and being a peer reviewer is an important role to play in the scholarly landscape. Without reviewers continuing to commit time and passion to their peer review role, the integrity of research would be harder to uphold.

We recognise that life as an academic is often tough and want to support you in your journey to becoming a reviewer, or if you’re an established reviewer to lighten the load with access to tools and resources that we hope you will find helpful.
