The Journal of Ambulatory Care Nursing (JACN) is seeking peer reviewers to serve on its Manuscript Review Panel.
Reviewers will be responsible for reviewing manuscripts submitted to JACN for consideration of publication in the journal.
JACN seeks a variety of peer reviewers with diverse clinical expertise, writing experience, and ability to blind review and critique written materials.
Reviewers will use a scoring tool provided by JACN, which will provide guidance for the reviewer when evaluating a submitted manuscript.
Reviewers can anticipate reviewing 2-4 manuscripts/year with a 2 to 3-week time period for the review to ensure a timely response to authors. The term of this position is 2 years with renewals based on interest and fulfillment of expectations.
