Why should you consider becoming a Peer Reviewer?

Thorough reviewing articles written by other researchers can provide valuable insights for improving your own work.

This reflection can enhance your understanding of a well-designed study.

Additionally, you will have the opportunity to include your review experience in the Curriculum Vitae, showcasing your valuable involvement to the scholarly community.
