Things to Consider Before Accepting an Invitation to Review
-
Does the article match your area of expertise? Are you qualified to review the manuscript? Only accept if you feel you can provide a high-quality review.
-
Do you have time to dedicate to the review? Reviewing can be time consuming, approximately 3 hours, so before you commit be sure you can meet the deadline.
-
Is there a potential conflict of interest you need to disclose to the editor?
-
The invitation to review will include an abstract of the manuscript; read this before making your decision to accept or decline.

Check with your librarian to be sure you aren't agreeing to review manuscripts for a predatory journal!
