How do I become a reviewer for the journal?

Thank you for your interest in reviewing for advances.in/psychology. Becoming a reviewer is a single step: register on our submission platform.

Where to register

Sign up at advances.pub. The platform handles both submissions and reviews — once your account is set up you can be matched to manuscripts that fit your expertise.

When you register, please:

• Use your institutional email if you have one.
• Add your keywords / topics of expertise as accurately as you can — the editorial team uses these to match reviewers to manuscripts.
• Keep your ORCID and current affiliation up to date.

What happens next

Once your account is active, the editorial team will contact you when a submission matches your expertise. There is no separate application or interview step; review invitations come by email when a relevant manuscript is in the queue.

You're free to decline any invitation without explanation — we'd much rather have a clear "no, not this one" than a delayed review.

After completing a review

Reviews that meet our quality bar are compensated. See How are reviewers paid? for the process (invoice form, bank transfer / PayPal / donation options) and When do I get paid? for timing.

We also publish the criteria we use to assess review quality — see What are the quality requirements for reviews?.
