The JVWR is growing!
Due to the increasing volume of submissions to the journal, the JVWR is looking for reviewers to help the editorial team select the best academic papers for publication. We are seeking scholars interested in serving together with our volunteer editorial team.
As a reviewer, you will be asked by the issue editors to review papers and provide constructive feedback about the merits of submissions in terms of quality and contribution to the field.
The JVWR expects to receive reviews in a timely*, collegial manner, with a high level of expertise, objectivity, and insightful evaluation of the manuscripts.
Note our Double-Open policy.
