For Reviewers 

Already a Reviewer?

The reviewing process is done directly within the publishing system. Issue edtiors will contact you directly. You can also suggest yourself to editors based on the various calls (see Publication Calendar on the right side of our web site).

You are always welcome to update your profile by logging into the publishing system at http://jvwresearch.org/ on the top of the right-hand menu (login).

If you are selected as a reviewer, please respond ASAP to editor's request. If you cannot preform the review due to time conflicts or other preoccupation please respond as well. Failure to respond either accept or reject the request, will cause removal from our reviewers' list.

Interested in Becoming a Reviewer?

First, please make sure you subscribe to the journal (top left of web site).

As a reviewer you will be asked by an issue editor to review papers and supply constructive comments to authors. Being a reviewer is an important step for both becoming a future author as well as an issue editor.
