The peer review process is the driving force behind all IGI Global books and journals.
All IGI Global reviewers maintain the highest ethical standards and each manuscript undergoes a rigorous double-anonymized peer review process,
which is backed by our full membership to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). The full publishing process and peer review are
conducted within the IGI Global eEditorial Discovery® online submission system and on average takes 30 days.

To apply to become a reviewer for an IGI Global journal, you must complete the ad hoc reviewer application form.
As an ad hoc reviewer, you have the valuable opportunity to review some of the most advanced scholarly research manuscripts
in the field and the overall success of the journal is dependent on your reviews. As such, ad hoc reviewers are appointed
to serve for one year and upon completion of this term, ad hoc reviewers will have the potential to be promoted to a full
editorial review board member based on the timeliness and quality of the reviews received.
