Join Our Reviewer Team

Good reviewers are the backbone of any journal. SIIJ is building an international pool of peer reviewers, and we would like to hear from researchers and practitioners who work in smart infrastructure and engineering innovation.

Who Can Become a Reviewer

We welcome applications from people who meet one or more of these criteria:

  • A PhD, MD or equivalent doctoral degree in smart infrastructure and engineering innovation or a closely related field
  • A record of peer-reviewed publications in smart infrastructure and engineering innovation or closely related topics
  • Active involvement in research, practice or teaching in smart infrastructure and engineering innovation
  • Expertise that fits SIIJ's Aims and Scope

Early-career researchers with relevant publications are also very welcome. Some of the most careful reviews come from people close to the work itself.

What We Ask of Reviewers

  • Objective, constructive and timely reviews
  • Careful assessment of originality, rigour and relevance
  • Strict confidentiality about everything you are sent
  • Declaration of any conflict of interest
  • Adherence to the COPE Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers

Reviewers advise; the final editorial decision rests with the editors.

Peer Review Model

SIIJ uses double-blind review, so neither authors nor reviewers learn each other's identities.

Ethical Standards

If you suspect plagiarism, data manipulation or another ethical problem while reviewing, please raise it confidentially with the editor rather than with the authors.

Why Review for SIIJ

  • Recognition for your scholarly service
  • An early view of new work in smart infrastructure and engineering innovation
  • A stronger academic and professional profile
  • Acknowledgement by the journal, without compromising anonymity

How to Apply

Email the editorial office with a short academic CV, your areas of expertise within smart infrastructure and engineering innovation, your ORCID iD if you have one, and your institutional affiliation and official email address.

The editorial team reviews every application and will contact selected reviewers directly.

Your Commitment

You are always free to accept or decline an invitation. A quick reply either way helps us keep the process moving for authors.
