If you'd like to join one of our journals but none of our current vacancies are quite right, why not let us know you're interested? We'll get in touch when new positions open up.
Why become a reviewer?
Reviewers provide an essential service to the journals by ensuring all articles are rigorously peer reviewed, meeting the strictest standards of academic excellence.
All reviewers for our monthly journals will receive complimentary access to the scientific research databases ScienceDirect and Scopus for a month via the Reviewer Hub. This access can commence at any time convenient for you within six months after you have accepted your review invitation.
The Reviewer Hub is an engagement platform and provides reviewers with a means of showcasing their efforts and receiving credit for their work. The platform offers reviewers a personalised profile page, documenting their reviewing history and review certificates.
If you would like to become a reviewer for either journal, please do get in touch with Editorial Office: Clinical Radiology (crad@editorialoffice.co.uk) and Clinical Oncology (clinonc@editorialoffice.co.uk).
