An excellent way to learn more about publishing academic papers, is to take part in the peer review process.  If you would be happy to review an occasional paper for one of these five journals, please email assistant@isdrs.org, providing a list of the five topics for which you could undertake reviews.  We will forward your name, email address and topics to the publisher.   You do not need to be an experienced author to undertake reviews.  The most important rule of reviewing is to offer others the helpful critique that you would like to receive from them!

ISDRS does not have any control over when you might be asked to undertake a review, but you are not under any obligation to agree to review any specific paper, or to undertake a minimum number of reviews.
