Review for IJN
Lend your expertise to peer review, help authors strengthen their work, and shape what the journal publishes.
What reviewing for IJN involves
The same standard applies to everyone who shapes the journal — rigour, transparency and research ethics first.
Assess the science
Judge originality, methodology, analysis and clarity against the evidence — not opinion.
Be timely and constructive
Return a structured, actionable report that gives authors a clear path to improve.
Flag concerns
Raise any ethical, data or integrity concerns, and declare conflicts of interest.
Keep it confidential
Treat every manuscript as confidential and never use unpublished material.
Recognition that counts
An honest account of the value — academic recognition and access, not payment.
Verified recognition
Your review activity can be recorded and recognised through your ORCID iD.
Early sight of research
Read new findings in your field before they are published.
Sharper of your own work
Reviewing strengthens your own methodology, writing and critical eye.
A record of service
A documented contribution to your discipline and the integrity of its literature.
