For Peer Reviewers

Peer review is an important part of the Early Education Journal.

The request to act as a peer reviewer will come in e-mail through a system generated message. We ask all potential peer reviewers to accept or decline the review with in a few days of receiving the request. 

Once a peer review is accepted, we anticipate reviews will be completed within 4 weeks. Extended timeframes can be requested through the assigning editor.

Peer reviewers are requested to respond to the categories identified in the peer review format that is sent to reviewers. They are also requested to comment on any ethical aspects of the submission and to include feedback to the author(s) on any matters that need to be addressed.

Peer reviewers are requested to declare any known conflicts of interest when they read any submission and to withdraw as a reviewer if they have such a conflict. Reviewers are requested to keep the submission and their review of it confidential.

The journal is regularly looking for peer reviewers. 

Please direct all questions about the peer review process, or learn more about opportunities for being a guest peer reviewer, to Karyn Aspden.
