Reviewers should provide brief, formative feedback. When evaluating proposals, reviewers are to be mindful that student-run publications and editorial teams vary widely in their scope, structure, content, approach, and experience.

Along with space for general feedback, reviewers will answer three primary questions:

  1. Does the proposal fit within the scope of the Forum?
  2. What are the strengths of the proposal?
  3. What could be improved or modified about the proposal?

Finally, reviewers are asked to make a recommendation on whether the proposal should be part of the Student Journal Forum.

Reviewers may not evaluate proposals submitted by students or journals from their own institution.
