Reviewers should have a strong publication record in air and water borne disease research, epidemiology, environmental science, microbiology, or related areas. Prior peer review experience is preferred, but early career researchers with strong subject expertise are welcome.

Email a brief statement of interest, your CV, and a list of keywords that describe your expertise. This helps match you with manuscripts that align with your knowledge. Include ORCID if available. A list of recent reviews is helpful.

Applications are reviewed for subject alignment and review capacity. The editorial office builds a diverse reviewer pool across air and water borne disease subfields, research methods, and geographic regions. Approved reviewers are added to the reviewer database and invited based on manuscript fit.

Most reviews can be completed within the requested timeline. Reviewers may accept or decline invitations based on availability. Consistent, timely reviews help authors and editors reach decisions faster.

Reviewers must treat all manuscripts as confidential and disclose any conflicts of interest. If a conflict exists, reviewers should decline the assignment to protect impartiality.

Reviewers provide objective, constructive feedback and maintain confidentiality. If you cannot meet a review deadline, notify the editorial office so the manuscript can be reassigned.

When applying, list your key research areas such as airborne transmission, waterborne outbreaks, environmental monitoring, diagnostics, vaccines, or health services research. Clear topic keywords improve matching accuracy.

The editorial office provides guidance on review structure and ethical considerations. New reviewers can request sample reviews or checklists to build confidence.

Serving as a reviewer supports professional development, enhances your academic profile, and contributes to the quality of air and water borne disease research published worldwide. It builds reputation.

Reviewers may receive acknowledgment for their service and are eligible for benefits outlined in the reviewer benefits policy. Certificates are available upon request.
