Become a Reviewer – Harvard Public Health Review: A Student-Run Peer-Reviewed Journal

HPHR invites applications for Reviewers.

Reviewers are contacted to assess submissions on an ad hoc basis. Each article will take approximately 0.5 to 2.0 hours to review on HPHR’s editorial platform, Scholastica. Reviewers are guided through the editorial process via an online form. While not required, reviewers are invited to upload copyedited drafts of the articles they review (which are de-identified by the platform).

Applications for reviewers on a quarterly basis (October, January, April).

Applications for this quarter are now being accepted until Monday, November 15, 2021.
