Pharmacotherapy Pearls

Annual Call for Pharmacotherapy Reviewers

Written by Wendy R. Cramer, B.S., FASCP; Richard T. Scheife, Pharm.D., FCCP

The value of the academic reviewer in all quality bioscience publications cannot be overstated. Only someone who is actively involved in and has a passion for clinical practice or research can accurately assess the scientific rigor and impact of a given manuscript submitted for publication. So, how does one make the leap from an impassioned pharmacy clinician or researcher to that of an academic reviewer?

If you would like to become a reviewer, you may do so online. Simply go to the Manuscript Central Web site (Pharmacotherapy’s online manuscript management system) at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pharmacotherapy. Then, proceed to “create account” at the top right-hand portion of the page, and follow the step-by-step instructions. You will be prompted to provide contact information, and you will be able to specify your areas of expertise (you may choose one or several) from a list of more than 100 specialty areas.
