Peer review is fundamental both to the quality and rigour of the scholarship we publish and the smooth running of our journals. Peer review is typically an unpaid activity carried out by scholars as a means of contributing to their field. 

Why peer review?

1. To learn more about the editorial process.
2. To keep up to date with novel research in your field.
3. To demonstrate your expertise in a field, and fulfil a professional responsibility to contribute that expertise to others as they develop their research.
