Reviewers

At the Journal of Injury & Illness Prevention in Sport, we recognise that peer-reviewers are the backbone of high-quality scientific publishing. We are committed to respecting your time, expertise, and contributions by offering a fair and transparent compensation model.

Reviewer Compensation

We offer reviewers the choice of:

  • £180 per completed peer review or
  • £300 credit toward the Article Processing Charge (APC) for any manuscript on which they are a named author (valid for up to 24 months after review completion).

This model ensures that your expertise is both valued and rewarded, while encouraging continued contribution to the journal community.

Expectations & Terms

To maintain integrity and efficiency in our review process, we ask reviewers to agree to the following:

  • Timely Review: Reviews must be submitted within 3 weeks of accepting the invitation.
  • High-Quality Feedback: Reviews should be constructive, detailed, and aligned with academic standards—helping both editors and authors evaluate and improve the manuscript.
  • Compensation Conditions:
    • Reviewers will be paid only upon completion of the full review process, including any follow-up reviews requested after revisions.
    • Payments are processed after the editor signs off on the review as complete and satisfactory.
    • Reviewers are paid regardless of the manuscript’s final decision (acceptance or rejection).
    • If choosing APC credit, the reviewer must be a co-author, or corresponding author, to apply the credit.
    • Reviewers will be contractors, invoicing per review completed. 

This approach helps us to meet our fast publication deadlines without compromising on quality, fairness, or ethical rigor. If you are interested in joining our reviewer community or have questions about this policy, please contact the editorial office at admin@jiips.co.uk.
