The Evidence Based Library and Information Practice journal
would like to announce an opportunity to become a peer reviewer.


 


The role involves:


 


	Providing
     in-depth peer review of original research articles, review articles,
     evidence summaries, or classics. The total number of peer review
     requests will vary depending upon content submitted to the journal, but
     reviewers, typically, are asked to review 2 to 4 submissions per year in
     one or more of these categories.
	Contributing
     to the overall success of the journal by providing unbiased, fair, and
     timely reviews of submissions that are assigned.
	Communicating
     with the Editorial Board about areas where the journal could improve.
	Promoting EBLIP as an avenue of
     publication to colleagues.



 


The ideal candidate is a professional or researcher in the area of
librarianship and information practice and well-versed in evidence based
practice and research methods. 


The peer reviewer term is for two years, and is renewable. Peer
reviewers for the journal follow detailed guidelines supplied by the Editorial
Board and typically have 3-4 weeks to complete a review. The double-blind peer
review process is managed through the Online Journal System for notification,
acceptance, and reviewers’ comments. 


 


The deadline for individuals to indicate their interest in response to
this call is October 15, 2020. However, new peer reviewers may be invited to
join at any time. Interested persons should send a statement of interest,
indicating areas of methodological and subject expertise, to Dr. Lorie Kloda, Editor-in-Chief, at eblipjournal@gmail.com
