About Our Reviewers
American Impact Review relies on a select pool of peer reviewers who serve by invitation of the Editorial Board. Reviewer appointments are extended on the basis of demonstrated expertise, a record of scholarly or professional achievement, and the ability to provide rigorous, objective evaluation of research manuscripts. We do not accept unsolicited applications for reviewer positions.
Each reviewer is formally appointed by the Editor-in-Chief following a recommendation from at least one member of the Editorial Board. Upon appointment, the reviewer receives an official invitation letter specifying the scope of their reviewing responsibilities, the field or fields in which they are qualified to evaluate submissions, and the journal's expectations regarding review quality, confidentiality, and turnaround time.
Reviewers evaluate manuscripts individually by completing structured assessment forms that address originality, methodological rigor, clarity, and contribution to the field. Each completed review constitutes an independent, expert judgment of the submitted work. All reviewers adhere to our Publication Ethics guidelines and the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Reviewer Selection Criteria
The Editorial Board evaluates prospective reviewers against the following requirements before extending a formal invitation:
A minimum of three peer-reviewed publications, or equivalent professional accomplishment such as patents, industry leadership, or recognized expertise in the relevant field
Active engagement in research, scholarship, or professional practice at the time of appointment
Demonstrated subject-matter expertise in one or more disciplines within the journal's multidisciplinary scope
No conflicts of interest with the manuscripts assigned for review
Commitment to providing timely, constructive, and confidential peer review in accordance with COPE guidelines
Review Process
Manuscripts submitted to American Impact Review undergo single-blind peer review. The Editor-in-Chief assigns each submission to one or more reviewers whose expertise matches the manuscript's subject area. Reviewers independently assess the work using a structured evaluation form and provide a written recommendation (accept, revise, or reject) along with detailed feedback to the authors. The Editor-in-Chief makes the final editorial decision based on the reviewers' assessments.
