External peer reviewers provide a vital service to the JABFM and to the family medicine specialty. By donating their time and expertise to reading manuscripts and writing critiques, reviewers assist authors to improve their manuscripts and raise the quality of the work published in the JABFM. Journal peer reviewing also offers a number of benefits for researchers. This form of professional socialization is an avenue for the reviewer to improve his or her own critical appraisal and writing skills.
Reviewers occasionally ask for clarification about the biomedical publishing process. To assist in the professional development of our reviewers, the JABFM provides some resources in the Peer Reviewer area of the JABFM website. The article “The Peer Review Process of the JABFM,” available at http://www.jabfm.org/cgi/content/full/19/2/209, describes an overview of our procedures related to peer review and editorial decision making. Specific information about what we expect from our reviewers is outlined in the article “Peer Reviewing for the JABFM: What Does it Take?,” available at http://www.jabfm.org/cgi/content/full/19/6/643, which provides additional details about our peer-review policies and procedures, presents the ethical issues in peer review, and discusses the qualities of a good peer review.
Authors and researchers are invited to enlist as a peer reviewer for the JABFM (see the peer reviewer registration form on the website at www.jabfm.org). We aim to secure a specialist and a generalist for each reviewed manuscript to provide a broad and scholarly critique to assist authors in disseminating their work.
