NEW PEER REVIEWERS

JABFM peer reviewers serve a vital role in contributing to the field of family medicine and the scientific community. Reviewers generally receive 0-2 review requests per year, depending on the topics of manuscripts we receive. You are always free to decline a request or indicate unavailable dates. 

If you would like to volunteer to review for the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, please download and complete the Peer Reviewer Form, and email to the Managing Editor at plupo@theabfm.org
