“I love the journal; there are a lot of good articles in there, and it's a very big perk to have.”

JAANP peer reviewers are uncompensated volunteers who are interested in the advancement of the NP role and health science via high-quality, informative publications. Reviewers are recognized each year in the journal as a show of appreciation for their dedication and hard work.
AANP members are academics, researchers, administrators, clinicians and, for JAANP, essential peer reviewers. Members may volunteer for consideration as a peer reviewer for the journal. Content experts are needed in select specialty areas. Are you interested in becoming a peer reviewer? Contact the publishing office at Patrick.Wall@wolterskluwer.org.
We know that peer reviewing requires significant time and expertise, and we appreciate your commitment to making JAANP the premier journal for your profession. In gratitude, JAANP offers CE credit as a way of acknowledging your dedication and hard work.
To earn CE credit, you will need to respond to all four of the following items at the end of your online peer review form:
The JAANP editorial team will evaluate your review and assign a score between zero and 100 to reflect the quality of the review. A score of 70 or above is needed to earn CE credit. Please note that this evaluation of your review is independent of your final recommendation for the manuscript you reviewed. Whether your decision is “Accept”, “Reject”, or somewhere in between, credit will be awarded if the quality of your review scores a 70 or above.
JAANP uses a double-blind peer review process to ensure that neither reviewers nor authors know each other's identities. Multiple reviewers are assigned to each manuscript based on the reviewers’ expertise and availability. Manuscripts are assigned for review based on the content and volume of the articles submitted to JAANP. Typically, each reviewer will be assigned one or two peer reviews per year.
The entire peer review process is completed digitally via the editorial manager system. Reviewers are notified of a review request via email invitation. A typical peer review takes about two to four hours depending on the type of manuscript and the reviewer's familiarity with the content.
Reviewers are provided with a time frame for completion of the review, generally two to three weeks. To assist you in planning your reviews, reminder emails are automatically sent out at specific intervals during the review process.
As a valuable member benefit, AANP members receive a free online subscription to JAANP. Non-AANP member and institutional subscriptions to JAANP are also available.
