Instructions for JETem Reviewers

Thank you for your contribution to the Journal of Education and Teaching in Emergency Medicine. Here are the instructions to help your tasks as a reviewer.

Reviewer Guidelines/Expectations for JETem.

Reviewers are expected to:

• Perform two (2) to five (5) reviews per calendar year.

When a reviewer has committed to review:

• Reviews must be completed within 14 days from date of the initial request.
  • If a reviewer does not reply within 3 days of initial invitation, an automatically generated electronic reminder will be sent on days 3, 5, and final reminder on day 7.
• Reviews must be thorough and contain a basic amount of information in order for the section editor to generate a composite review.
  • Critique of methodology (did the author incorporate engaging instructional methods)
  • Accuracy of subject matter
  • Statement of impact
  • Strengths
  • Significant limitations that were not addressed
  • Fatal flaws
  • Comment on clarity, brevity, grammar and spelling. If there are minor errors, please relate them in the review. If there are major errors as a whole, you may relate this fact without having to fix them line by line.

The journal will provide all reviewers with:

• An annual update detailing the number of reviews performed over the preceding calendar year and an official letter of thanks on JETem letterhead for your academic record and promotion.
