Part of the academic duties is to assist colleagues around the world in evaluating, assessing and recommending on the basis of our scientific research experience and information.
“Reviewing is a time-intensive process – writing a review report can be almost as much work as writing a manuscript! – but it is very worthwhile for the reviewer as well as for the community.
Reviewers:
* ensure the rigorous standards of the scientific process by taking part in the peer-review system.
* uphold the integrity of the journal by identifying invalid research, and helping to maintain the quality of the journal.
* fulfil a sense of obligation to the community and their own area of research.
* establish relationships with reputable colleagues and their affiliated journals, and increase their opportunities to join an Editorial Board.
* can help prevent ethical breaches by identifying plagiarism, research fraud and other problems by dint of their familiarity with the subject area.” – Elsevier, 2020
