Join Our Reviewer Team

Good reviewers are the backbone of any journal. IAJAVS is building an international pool of peer reviewers, and we would like to hear from researchers and practitioners working in agricultural and veterinary sciences.

Who Can Become a Reviewer

We welcome applications from people who meet one or more of these criteria:

A PhD, MVSc, MSc (Ag) or equivalent postgraduate degree in agriculture, veterinary science, animal science or a related field
A record of peer-reviewed publications in the journal's subject area
Active involvement in research, extension, veterinary practice or teaching relevant to the journal
Expertise that fits IAJAVS's Aims and Scope

Early-career researchers with relevant publications are also very welcome. Some of the most careful reviews come from people closest to the field work.

What We Ask of Reviewers

Objective, constructive and timely reviews
Careful assessment of originality, rigour and relevance
Strict confidentiality about everything you are sent
Declaration of any conflict of interest
Adherence to the COPE Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers

Reviewers advise; the final editorial decision rests with the editors.

Peer Review Model

IAJAVS uses double-blind review, so neither authors nor reviewers learn each other's identities.

Ethical Standards

If you suspect plagiarism, data manipulation or another ethical problem while reviewing, please raise it confidentially with the editor rather than with the authors.

An early view of new work in your field
