“We all have a collective interest in the quality of our community’s reviewing process. After all, the development, relevance, and impact of our science—not to mention our reputation as a community of scholars—depends on blind peer review. For those new to our community, constructively critiquing others’ work serves as an irreplaceable means by which to hone your craft. Moreover, reviewing for the Annual Meeting provides the experience many journals look for when seeking out new editorial review board members. And for us veterans, what a thrill it is to help develop an early-stage paper, and then see it published in one of our leading journals a year or two later. So don’t wait to be asked. Send an email today to your division leadership offering your services as a reviewer!”
