Peer Review Board

Reviewers review up to three manuscripts per year assigned by the editorial team based on the Reviewer’s interests and expertise. Reviewers have up to 6 weeks to submit reviews. Reviewers must hold a doctoral degree with a record of writing and publication. We recognize excellence in peer review with our annual Editor’s Choice award. We also update Peer Review Board members on our website annually with a list of all reviewers who provide timely, detailed, and constructive reviews in line with the journal's Aims & Scope.

You may apply to serve as a reviewer at anytime. To apply, register as a reviewer on our website and add your bio statement and reviewing interests. To add your bio statement, click your username link from the upper right corner. Choose the view profile link then select the public tab. Add your bio statement in the textbox. To add reviewing interests, select the roles tab. Enter keywords in the reviewing interests text box. The more keywords you include in your profile, the better we will be able to match you with appropriate manuscripts. Add at least 5 reviewing interests topics to your profile including:

Note: JSARD is a member of the STAR Scholars Network, a non-profit organization. JSARD operates through the voluntary services of board members and editors.  Service is an opportunity to engage in a significant research activity, view research first hand, and participate in the evaluation of scholarly research. Individuals may use this service towards doctoral degree requirements or faculty tenure and promotion activities. JSARD lists board members name and affiliation on our website, but provides no monetary reward, as all positions in the Journal are unpaid.
