Recognizing the peer reviewers whose work makes BCPHR possible.
Peer review is the foundation of scholarly publishing, and the work of peer reviewers is largely invisible. BCPHR publishes an annual acknowledgment of reviewers who contributed to the journal during the prior calendar year, with their permission. This recognition aligns with COPE Core Practices on peer review transparency and the 16 Principles of Transparency.
At the end of each calendar year, the editorial team compiles a list of all peer reviewers who completed at least one review during the year.
Each reviewer is contacted to confirm consent to be publicly acknowledged. Reviewers who prefer to remain anonymous are not listed.
The acknowledgment is published on the BCPHR website with reviewer names, affiliations, and ORCID identifiers where available. The list is also distributed through the BCPH e-newsletter.
Each year's acknowledgment is preserved in the BCPHR archive so reviewers can reference their contribution in CVs, tenure files, and ORCID records.
Peer reviewers are recruited from the public health research community. Researchers interested in joining the BCPHR reviewer pool may apply through the Join the Team page. New reviewers are mentored through their first reviews by senior editors.
