Join Our Reviewer Team

Liver Research – Open Journal (LROJ) is always seeking qualified, engaged researchers and clinicians to join its reviewer pool. Reviewers play a vital role in maintaining the scientific quality and integrity of the journal, and serving as a reviewer is also a valuable opportunity for professional development and staying current with emerging research in hepatology and liver disease.

Who We're Looking For

We welcome applications from researchers, clinicians, and academics with:

  • A relevant doctoral degree (PhD, MD, or equivalent) or substantial professional expertise in hepatology, gastroenterology, liver pathology, transplantation medicine, or a related field
  • A track record of published research, demonstrating familiarity with scientific methodology and academic writing standards
  • Willingness to provide timely, constructive, and confidential feedback on submitted manuscripts

What Reviewing Involves

Reviewers are asked to evaluate assigned manuscripts against the journal's peer review criteria (see Reviewer Guidelines), typically completing a structured Reviewer Evaluation Form within an agreed timeframe. Reviewers are not obligated to accept every review invitation and may decline assignments outside their area of expertise or when their schedule does not permit a timely review.

How to Apply

Interested researchers should submit an expression of interest to the editorial office, including:

  • A current CV or academic biography
  • A brief statement of relevant subject-matter expertise within hepatology or liver research
  • Contact information, including institutional affiliation

Review Process for Applications

Applications are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief or an Associate Editor to confirm relevant qualifications and subject-matter fit before an applicant is added to the journal's active reviewer pool.

Recognition

Reviewers who provide consistent, high-quality contributions to the journal may be considered for invitation to join the Editorial Board, and the journal recognizes the contributions of its reviewers through periodic acknowledgment of their service.
