Recruiting Volunteer Reviewers for Forests

Peer reviewing is an essential part of the publication process, ensuring that Forests (ISSN: 1999-4907) maintains its high standards for the quality of published papers. We wish to recruit expert reviewers to help uphold the quality and efficiency of Forests.
To qualify as a reviewer, applicants must have published around eight papers related to the topics covered by Forests in the last 5 years and hold a Ph.D. degree. You may check “Peer Review” in the MDPI Editorial Process for details related to reviewers. For example, reviewers should hold no conflicts of interest with any of the authors, reviewers should work for an official and recognized academic institution, etc.
We will extend the following benefits to reviewers:
- Reviewers will receive a discount voucher code based on the quality and timeliness of your reviews;
- Reviewers will be considered for the Forests Outstanding Reviewer Award, details of which can be found at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/forests/awards/2945;
- Reviewers can build their profile on Publons and have their reviewing activity automatically added for participating journals, and Publons profiles can be integrated into ORCID;
- Reviewers will have the opportunity to stay up to date with the latest research developments in their field.
