How to Join JMVRA as a Reviewer or Editorial Board Member

1

Check your eligibility

Reviewers and editors are typically Ph.D. holders, experienced faculty members, researchers with published work or industry professionals with subject expertise.

2

Prepare your academic details

Keep your current designation, institution, subject areas, highest qualification and a list of your publications ready.

3

Open the application form

Go to the reviewer application page and choose your role: Reviewer, Editor or both.

4

Submit your qualifications

Fill in your details and subject expertise accurately, so manuscripts can be matched to your field.

In depth

What Makes a Good Peer Review

A good review helps the editor make a sound decision and helps the author improve the paper. It begins with a short summary of what the manuscript claims, then assesses whether the question is clear, the methods are appropriate, the results support the conclusions and the work adds something new to the field.

Be specific and constructive

General comments such as “needs improvement” give an author nothing to act on. Point to the exact section, table or claim, explain the problem and, where you can, suggest how to fix it. Separate essential changes from optional suggestions so the author knows what matters most.

Integrity and confidentiality

Treat every manuscript as confidential, declare any conflict of interest before accepting an invitation, and decline papers outside your expertise. Never use unpublished findings from a manuscript in your own work. These are the same standards set out in JMVRA’s peer review policy.

Why reviewing helps your own career

Reviewing keeps you close to new work in your field, sharpens your own writing and is recognised as academic service. At JMVRA, reviewers earn 300 points per completed review, redeemable toward publication fees, and receive a reviewer certificate for their CV.

Checklist

What makes a good peer review

Six habits editors notice. They are also what the sample reports on this page show.

  • Specific: quote the line or table you mean, and say what would fix it
  • Balanced: strengths first, then the problems in order of importance
  • Evidence-led: a claim is challenged with a reference or a calculation, not an opinion
  • Confidential: the manuscript is not shared, cited or used before publication
  • Declared: any conflict of interest is reported before the review starts
  • On time: a late review delays an author more than a critical one
