Starting the process

To be considered as a reviewer, please send your request along with your CV to request@detsoc.org. Your application will be reviewed, and if your expertise aligns with our needs, we will add you to our pool of potential reviewers. As part of the evaluation process, ensure that your CV clearly highlights your areas of expertise and research interests. DETSOC publications match article submissions with peer reviewers who are experts in relevant topics. If selected, you will receive invitations to review articles that align with your expertise. Most invitations will include details such as the title and abstract of the article to help you decide whether to accept the review request.

Receiving a peer review invitation

When you receive a review invitation, you should consider whether you have sufficient expertise in the article’s subject area. You should also consider if you can complete the review by the deadline provided in the review invitation.
If the answer to either of those questions is “no,” you should promptly decline the invitation. Suggestions of other potential reviewers are always appreciated.
If you decide to accept the invitation, follow the instructions in the email to signal your acceptance. You will then receive information on how to access the article and conduct your review.
