Reviewer Needed for WCX2024

SAE International appreciates the essential role of reviewers in the publishing process, and our reviewers are crucial to the integrity and validity of the research we publish. We rely on reviewers to help to improve quality and to adhere to SAE’s standards through a double-blind peer-review process. SAE journals and non-event technical papers require a minimum of three qualified reviews before a decision is reached about publication. SAE events requires a minimum of two qualified reviews.

What is peer review?
Scholarly peer review is the process of subjecting an author’s scholarly work, research, or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the field. Peer review is critical to enforcing the standards and integrity of high-quality scholarly publishing and can add value and further clarity to submitted manuscripts. The peer-review process acts as a filter for poor content and as a mechanism for improving content.

Why is peer review important?
Peer review is important because it acts as a quality control measure. The review process helps an editor and/or publisher decide if a manuscript should be rejected, accepted for publication, or returned for modification. Exposing an author’s manuscript to experts in his/her field of research checks for validity, integrity, quality, and value.

Who can become a reviewer?
Anyone who is an expert in a research field can be a reviewer for a journal, non-event technical papers, or events on that particular research topic. Becoming a reviewer requires proficient knowledge in the subject area and the ability to provide constructive criticism to the author and editors. SAE does require previous experience as a peer reviewer or completion of a training program.

Being a reviewer can advance your career by helping you stay up-to-date with the latest research and trends. Writing reviews gives you the opportunity to contribute to research in your chosen field; however, serving as a reviewer does require commitment. The most important requirement for being a reviewer is that you can devote enough time to give a professional and useful review within the time frame given for a review, usually within one month maximum from the date of acceptance.

For event papers, please log into MyTechZone and sign up to be a reviewer.
