For reviewers
Thank you for serving as a peer reviewer for CJES. This hub covers what to expect when invited to review, how to write a strong report, the confidentiality and ethics commitments you take on, and how we recognise your contribution.
Reviewer guidelines
What makes a good peer review: how to evaluate manuscripts systematically, the criteria CJES uses, and how to write a constructive review report.
Invitation and response
What happens when you receive an invitation to review, and how to accept or decline responsibly.
Confidentiality and ethics
Reviewers handle unpublished work and confidential author information. Ethical commitments govern your conduct at every stage of the review.
Reviewer recognition
Signing in via ORCID links your reviewer role to a verified academic identifier — the primary recognition mechanism currently available. Additional recognition programs (annual certificates, an annual reviewer list, and an Outstanding Reviewer award) are under development and will launch when ready.
