What are the benefits of being a reviewer for a journal?
I had receiving many requests to review a manuscripts for the journals.
Hi Mazin Nadhim Mousa ,
1. Being a review for a journal is the matter of pride.
2. But it depends on the journal level and reputation.
3. One must have the enough experience to be reviewer.
4. Research background and interest are key requirements.
Thank You,
Good luck
Dear Mazin,
It is a mark of professionalism, at least for the shared paradigm of the journal or book you review for. A reviewer must navigate the distribution of current opinions that surrounds his paradigm. Sometimes the editor may place constraints on the merits of an article assigned to a reviewer, besides imposing a desk rejection. Why must this be so? One reason is that there is usually a journal for every paradigm. It is not unknown that many scientific articles were rejected by major journals, and that later got acceptance in a more general-interest or field journals. Two outstanding examples are Robert Lucas Jr article on Rational Expectation, and George Ackerlof article on hidden information.
Dear Mazin Nadhim Mousa ,
There are several benefits:
- You learn how to write better
- You learn how to evaluate other people's work better
- You can add it to your CV
- You can gain favour with the journal editors, which might help you at some point
- You become more recognised in your academic community
- You get a good idea of what quality of article is required for publication in that journal (e.g. high ranking journals with many submissions might require minor corrections from all reviewers)
One improvs his/her own writing efficiency and understands it better what is important and where the tricks are.
Benefits of being a reviewer for a journal:
1)You can get information of varieties of areas of research
2)You can analyses critically the research papers to improve presentation of the research findings.
