The Journal’s Editorial Review Board (ERB) consists of prominent oral health professionals representing a variety of backgrounds, organizations and demographics. The main role of the ERB is to provide objective and thorough assessment of any assigned manuscripts through a thorough peer review process. At least three members of the ERB are required to review each submitted manuscript before a final decision regarding publication can be reached. If there is not agreement amongst the assigned reviewers regarding publication, the Managing Editor can request additional members of the ERB or other content experts to review the manuscript.
Other functions they may provide include:
- Working with the Managing Editor to identify potential editorial themes, pertinent topics that manuscripts should be solicited to address, and writing guest editorials for Journal as requested by the Managing editor
- Providing advice regarding various aspects of the Journal
- Recommending the Journal to potential authors and subscribers, as well as encouraging peers to submit their work for publication
- Providing general support as needed to the Managing Editor
All ERB members are required to have been published at least once in the Journal of Dental Hygiene or another peer-reviewed journal, and they must be highly regarded within their area(s) of expertise. Potential candidates for the Board may be identified by members of the Managing Editor or Editorial Review Board. Members of the Board must commit to serving as a peer reviewer for a three-year period and agree to receive approximately four requests each year depending on their area of expertise and the nature of the manuscripts received by JDH.
