How to apply?

Researchers interested in reviewing for any journal of MJCIS can now register their interest by following a couple of simple steps. Once they identify themselves, provide a list of their latest publications, area of expertise, their motivation for choosing this journal to review for and indicate their availability, editors will then receive a notification of interest. It is then up to the relevant editors to contact volunteer reviewers in order to request a review.

There are two ways to be a reviewer for one of our journals. The first one is to register/ login to your account and update your research interests and select (available for review) option. The second way is to send an email to the journal editor/ MJCIS team to request including your name in the journal reviewer’s database.

Review Report Sections:

All the review process is conducted electronically through our MJCIS systems. The reviewer will be requested to submit an electronic review form, which can be found in his review account. The main items in this form can be found here (Report Example)
