1. You can be sensitive to the research trend in your specialization.

2. You can learn how differently the other authors approached to the research problem.

3. You can learn better academic writing skills, expressions, and structures.

4. You can build up your good reputation as a scholar. Remember, editors are watching and reviewing your reviews in terms of scholarly depth and width, timeliness, neutrality, and constructivism. Once your reputation grows, you may be invited to the editorial board or assistant/associate editor to the journal.

5. Humans are not perfect and inevitably biased. A good relationship with editors could be of help to your academic publications to some extent.

6. So please provide your passion and faithfulness to the journal (editors) as well as authors. All of your hard work will finally pay off.

Perhaps better understanding of the width and breadth of the scientific literature . . . perhaps better spelling . . . Both hypotheses than can be tested.

Reviewer should do all the best to improve the level of article he reviews,and not allow the low-level articles to be published in the journals.Because this will allow fake facts to spread and the scientific development may be damaged.

What a reviewer's responsibilities to an author who submits a

--poorly written

--poorly conceptualized

--with poor methodology

--with poor analyses

--with poor discussion

--and with poorly drawn conclusions?

Dennis Mazur I think that the author would get a desk rejection before proceeding to the peer reviews. :-)

Yes, with the Reviewing the Manuscripts or thesis your research knowledge will be enriched and it is impact on your further research proposals with the new thoughts.

Reviewing others work Is an important part of academic work, and being bored by assessing the research work of others means that you must change your career path. Because well still need more knowledge some time we receiving this knowledge from others

Thanks all for your valuable answers.

My Best

as academic, i will refresh my knowledge in my specialty and can increase my annual score in my college.

i also will get more experience in reviewing in well known medical journals in specialty

I lost count of how many times I did reviewing articles that are to be sent to journals, MSc dissertations to be submitted, research proposals and projects. I once reviewed a chapter before it was included in an official secondary school curriculum.

I have never waited for gaining money or reputation or a title from the reviewing work. I two times refused including my name as one of the authors after doing tough work in reviewing research articles that were to be published in high impact factor journals.

My Research Gate colleagues may be surprised about what I did but this disclosure will be more understood when they know that I like my university, my country, and humanity at large. I do not believe in "empty" promotions to "empty" titles being very honest with myself & with others.

It is true that I have been exhausted several times but I gained lot of benefits by expanding my knowledge (scientifically & linguistically) and by broadening my horizons.

After my retirement (14 months ago), there has been a halt in inviting me to be an examiner for MSc students because the managers are not decided whether I fit as internal or external examiner. Well, I am grateful for this hesitation because it gave me some deserved rest because I am not easy going when I am assigned a duty (i.e. I will do very hard work in the most appropriate manner to please my God).

Better way to understand latest trends in the relevant area/discipline.

Apart from the insightful comments of the colleagues, peer review contributes to the open-mindedness of both authors and reviewers. This is an important benefit, too.

One of its benefits is to learn the skills of electronic writing in a better and higher quality and acquire knowledge.

Undoubtedly, there are several positive side-effects of reviewing, but on the other hand it is also equally true that it is among the works that are not much acknowledged and properly rewarded in academia. Thus, reviewing is much based on goodwill and willingness to contribute to the wider scientific community. Maybe a solution to this 'problem', if it is a problem at all, is to start properly recognize and monitor reviewing activity.

In that respect, i find interesting this site: https://publons.com/about/home/

Dear Halima Begum,

It is indispensable in the process of improving conducted research techniques and raising the quality of scientific research results, increasing the objectivity of conducted research, obtained tests and their interpretation.

Best wishes

You will be engaged in new experience by reviewing an article and may gain new information not knowing by you previously.

You will be known by more editors and journals

In many colleges, you will have better annual scoring

Dear Halima,

You can benefit from reviewing process in terms of getting new trends and approaches. However, there must be a balance between your research and reviewing the other people's. Otherwise you can not produce your own work.

Best

Very good opinion Dr. Meltem

Thanks a lot experts for your valuable opinion.

Thanks Dr Qasim,

I agree with @dariusz

An interesting paper on this topic
