In addition to the points made by Dr Chalamalla Srinivas, reviewing papers helps you to know many things ahead of your colleagues. This is because you read papers many months before it is published online. This can be useful in developing your own research. It is also rewarding to offer selfless service that contributes to the development of your field through assessing/reviewing papers. Without good reviewers, academic writing/scholarship will be meaningless.

Yes, one can learn a lot, earn a lot too! Develop analyzing capacity, sharpen logical interpretation, find loopholes, establish linkages, learn new scientific tools & techniques, get self confidence and mastery over time. 1st rated reviewers may also be duly recognized by the journal authority.

I feel some responsibility. I read many things about the topic and it deepens my knowledge.

Hello,

great day!

Certainly the invitation to act results from excellent publications and a career of researcher already consolidated. It involves responsibility, time, and dedication.

The reward comes in the form of student and follower recognition and, occasionally, invitations to lectures on the "art of publishing."

Regards.

Frankly, with each related question, I used to search about our colleague @Chalamalla Srinivas, so when I find him answer it, I stand silent.

What is the benefit of becoming a reviewer of any journal?

Agreed with the answers shared my previous researchers / scholars.  Other benefits of reviewing other manuscripts include:

Gives an opportunity to be familiar with research.

So, please how do we know if we did a good review? many thanks

Dear Baya,

This issue depends on our experience in our field of knowledge, so it is so easy to specify the toughness of any article, otherwise, reject and return this article to the publisher,Right?

Emad

Yes I agree , many thanks

I affirm Chalamalla's insightful response. It is a very rewarding experience academically and socially. Apart from growing your CV, and expanding your knowledge base, you also get a chance to serve, to contribute towards supporting someone to get their article published through the methodical suggestions and corrections you will offer for improving their papers.

Despite it is time consuming, but rather than going to conferences costing huge money, reviewing the paper gives cost-effective way of latest understanding the development on interested field and chance to show your expertise

So, please how do we know if we did a good review? many thanks

Hi Baya, re your above question - as reviewer we need to review fairly & professionally because we are impacting other researchers' rights for knowledge contribution.  Indicators that we might did a good review include:

Dear Baya

1-Increased confidence

2-Known in the scientific community

3-Selected for special projects and unique

4-Increasing job opportunities

5-Identifying individual research scientific space
