For our online journal Medical Science Educator, I am currently looking for new reviewers to join the Review Board. Several of you are a reviewer with us already and your work is highly appreciated. If you are not a reviewer yet, I want to make you more familiar with the possibility to become one, which is an exclusively membership benefit.
Medical Science Educator publishes articles which focus on teaching the sciences that are fundamental to modern medicine and health. Coverage includes basic science education, clinical teaching and the incorporation of modern educational technologies. Our journal is experiencing an increasing interest from educators from all over the world to publish with us.
Our reviewers are expected to have a broad interest in medical education. We will try to match the manuscript topic to your field of interest or expertise, but this is not always possible. Although expertise in the field is always helpful, the most important goal of our peer review is to judge the manuscript for its quality and appropriateness to be published in our journal and to provide the authors useful feedback. This is done using a standardized review form. Reviews have to be returned within 3 weeks, and we will try to limit the number of times per year we will invite you to review for us. For the professional development of our reviewers, we offer a review workshop during the IAMSE annual meeting, free of charge. This year this workshop will be organized on Saturday June 13, 2015 at the meeting in San Diego, CA, USA. Our reviewers are expected to be IAMSE members in good standing, so we hope that you maintain your active membership.
If you are interested in becoming a reviewer, or if you have any questions regarding the Review Board, please contact me on journal@iamse.org. I look forward to working with you.
