JAVA Reviewer Update

JAVA Editorial Team

If you are an AVA member with a passion for editing or publishing, The Journal of Vascular Access needs you! Many hands make light work – and help meet publishing deadlines! This is a great opportunity for anyone who would like to volunteer with AVA.

If you are interested in becoming a JAVA reviewer, please submit your details on the AVA website here: https://www.avainfo.org/page/ JAVAReviewer

Additionally, the Editorial Team is currently working on a project to update the JAVA reviewers list and contact information.

If you are identified as a REVIEWER in the JAVA editorial manager system we ask that you take a moment to log in, review, and update your information in the system. Please check that everything correct including your current email address. Then, please review, update, and select one or more “Areas of Expertise” in the personal classification system, as seen here. When a manuscript is received, it is matched by the classification to quickly identify content experts who are best qualified to provide a review. Without at least one content area identified, it often becomes time-consuming to identify reviewers. This can delay the progress of the manuscript through the review process. Unfortunately, this field is not set as a “required” field in the system and, as a result, many reviewers did not identify any classifications. Please note that you may identify additional areas of expertise using the “Edit Personal Keywords” tab.

Thank you for updating your information and identifying your area of expertise. If you are no longer available as a JAVA reviewer, kindly email javaeditor@avainfo.org to be removed from the volunteer pool.

We would appreciate it if you would update your profile no later than September 30, 2021. If you need assistance with the editorial manager you may submit a request at peertracksupport@ allenpress.com or email the JAVA Editorial Team at javaeditor@avainfo.org
