Reviewer Registration
The Journal of Dentistry and Oral Implants welcomes expressions of interest from researchers, clinicians, and methodological experts who can contribute informed, independent peer review.
Register your professional profile for consideration when a manuscript aligns with your subject expertise, research experience, and availability.
Reviewer profiles are assessed for expertise, suitability, and relevance to individual manuscripts. Registration does not guarantee a review assignment or an editorial appointment.
Why review for JDOI
Peer reviewers help editors assess the scientific quality, methodological rigour, clinical relevance, and presentation of submitted research.
A clear and constructive review also helps authors identify important strengths, limitations, and opportunities to improve their work.
Reviewers provide specialist advice to the editorial process. Final editorial decisions remain the responsibility of the journal.

- Familiarity with relevant clinical, laboratory, imaging, biomaterials, or evidence-synthesis methods
