Editorial & Reviewer Opportunities

Join the IJCI Team

IJCI is building a multidisciplinary network of qualified peer reviewers and editorial contributors. Applications are selective, role-specific, and independently reviewed by the Editorial Office.

Peer review

Apply as Reviewer

Reviewers are invited only for manuscripts that match their documented clinical, scientific, or methodological expertise. Approved reviewer status does not create a public profile by default.

• Evaluate manuscripts independently and confidentially.
• Declare conflicts before accepting assignments.
• Provide constructive, evidence-based reports within the requested timeline.
• Maintain an accurate expertise and availability profile.

Editorial appointments are based on documented expertise, scholarly activity, professional standing, specialty coverage, and the journal's operational needs. Confidential manuscript access is granted separately and only when required by role.

• Advise within genuine areas of expertise.
• Support editorial standards, independence, and research integrity.
• Protect confidential author, reviewer, and manuscript information.
• Disclose conflicts and recuse when appropriate.
