Are you interested in becoming a peer reviewer for The Neurodiagnostic Journal?

Benefits of being a peer reviewer:

  • Earn ASET-CEUs for your reviews.
  • Gain insight into editorial processes.
  • Improve your writing: Evaluating an article and comparing your observations to those of other reviewers and editors helps you improve your writing skills and can provide insight into the publishing process.
  • Play a part in ensuring the integrity of published literature in our field.

We are seeking reviewers who meet the following qualifications:

  • Hold neurodiagnostic credentials or board certifications in their area of practice
  • Have published articles in The Neurodiagnostic Journal or other scholarly peer-reviewed journals
  • Have demonstrated subject-matter expertise through scholarly and professional activities, such as publications, presentations, and related committee work

To apply to become a reviewer, please email us at [email protected] with a brief letter of interest and a CV or résumé.

Some quick guidelines for peer review:

  • Aim to use the tone of a mentor. Some authors are inexperienced.
  • Include a comment or two about aspects of the paper that are done well. Examples can be found here.
  • If during review, you realize that you know the identity of the author or have a conflict of interest, communicate this with the managing editor.
  • Always include comments to the author in addition to answering the standard questions provided by the journal.
  • Focus on the quality of the content, not grammar. While general comments about language are welcome, reviewers should not edit manuscripts. The accepted version will go through copyediting and proofreading prior to publication.
 

“This paper would benefit from more careful proofreading.”

 

“Place a comma after ‘neuropsychology’ on line 71.”
