Procedure for Inviting Reviews
The Editorial Board of PRV meets once per year to propose ideas
for new review topics. Names of appropriate authors – all leaders in the
field covered by the suggested review - are discussed, and if accepted, they
are invited to submit an in-depth review of the sort that we have come to
expect in the pages of PRV. The manuscript screening process is
carried out by the inviting editor in conjunction with other expert referees
in the area covered. In parallel, PRV also has a European Editor,
Professor Ole Petersen, University of Liverpool, UK, who also holds a
meeting of the European Board once per year to invite reviews from many
other corners of the World. The USA and European Editors interact closely to
coordinate the invitation process, to ensure adequate coverage of a wide
area of physiological endeavor, and to avoid overlap in subject matter.
While these decisions to invite are taken once per year by each board, we do
receive a certain number of unsolicited review suggestions throughout the
year. These are, however, usually held over until the next scheduled board
meeting, where they are discussed along with the other suggestions by the
entire board. Only in very special circumstances will a non-solicited review
be accepted for publication outside of this established procedure.
