Benefits of reviewing for Occupational Medicine

Becoming involved in the peer review process for a scientific journal can be a highly rewarding experience. Doing your part to protect the integrity of published scientific literature, at a time when the credibility of science is being increasingly challenged, is more important than ever. That said, there are several benefits specific to reviewing for Occupational Medicine:

1. We run a Reviewers’ workshop every other year.

2. We recognize and thank our reviewers in the journal at the end of each year.

3. Our Editorial Board members all started as reviewers, so there’s potential to join the Board when a position arises.

4. You will be able to get a first-hand look at the research that is submitted to the journal.

5. You will have the opportunity to build new connections and extend your professional network.

6. Reviewing other authors work will help you improve your own writing and learn new research methods. The skills you develop through reviewing could be valuable for your career.

7. You will be the first to see new research and information in your field, helping you develop your knowledge.

8. You will receive a thank you for reviewing email with a certificate each year sent from OUP.
