 becoming a good reviewer might not be what you expected to be one of the most important facets of your academic career. But in many ways it is. Without reviewers who devote some of their free time into peer review of other papers from researchers from around the world, we might not have such a high standard in science that we now have. In fact, some of the most accomplished researchers claim to attempt to review at least two or three times as many papers as they themselves publish. To give back to the community, but also to ensure that the research standard in their field remains high. If you're just starting out in your academic career as a PhD student in your late stages or perhaps an early career postdoc, you might be wondering how do I become a peer reviewer? How do editors even pick me? Well, one thing you can do is educate yourself.
