The Journal of Dental Hygiene’s pool of reviewers consists of prominent oral health professionals representing a variety of backgrounds, organizations and demographics. The main role of the reviewer is to provide an objective and thorough assessment of any assigned manuscripts by way of a thorough peer review process. A minimum of three (3) peer reviewers are required for each submitted manuscript before a final decision regarding publication can be reached. If there is not agreement amongst the assigned reviewers regarding the manuscript's publication, the Managing Editor can request for additional content experts to review the manuscript.
All JDH Reviewers 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 Reviewers-At-Large may be identified by other reviewers, the Managing Editor, or the Editorial Advisory Board.
Other functions JDH Reviewers 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 the 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
JDH Reveiwers must commit to serving as a peer reviewer for a three-year period and agree to receive approximately four requests per year depending on their area of expertise and the nature of the manuscripts received by the Journal. For questions regarding the review process or becoming a JDH Reviewer, please contact JDH Managing Editor Cathy Draper, RDH, MS, FADHA at [email protected].
