Become a peer reviewer

Help shape the research of tomorrow

Peer review is an essential part of scholarly publishing. By reviewing research in your field, you can help maintain the quality and integrity of published work, support fellow researchers, and contribute to the development of your discipline. It’s also an opportunity to engage with new research before it is published and play an active role in shaping the future of your field.

“I think the most rewarding aspect of reviewing a paper in your field is being the first to learn about new discoveries by your peers… you sometimes can come up with ideas and experimental suggestions that eventually can strengthen the final version of the paper; thus, in some way, you are becoming a part of the discovery process.”
— Professor Nikita Gamper (University of Leeds, UK), 2025 Exceptional Referee for The Journal of Physiology.

“Peer reviewing is an important part of our scholarly responsibility to the research community, so I would encourage people to take the opportunity when they feel they can contribute meaningfully”
— Elliott Jenkins (Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK), 2025 Exceptional Referee for The Journal of Physiology.
