    JOHS Invitation to Volunteer as Peer Reviewer
    Hello everyone,

    The Journal of One Health Systems (JOHS), operated by the University of Tennessee, Knoxville's Center for Pet Family Well-Being, is building its reviewer network and looking for experienced professionals willing to serve as peer reviewers.

    JOHS explores how veterinary care, human healthcare, public health, and social services can work together to support coordinated, pet-inclusive systems of care. The journal follows COPE Core Practices and ICMJE standards and uses a double-blind peer review model. All content is platinum open-access-free to both readers and authors.

    We are looking for reviewers with expertise in areas such as:

    • Veterinary medicine
    • Human healthcare
    • Public health
    • Social services
    • Law or policy affecting pet-inclusive families
    • Related interdisciplinary fields


    What we ask of reviewers:

    • Provide thorough, constructive feedback on assigned manuscripts within agreed timeframes
    • Evaluate methodology, significance, and contribution to the field
    • Offer clear recommendations with detailed justification


    Strong candidates will have peer review or research experience and a commitment to ethical, evidence-based scholarship. We welcome reviewers from diverse disciplines and professional backgrounds.


    If you are interested or would like to learn more, please visit https://voljournals.utk.edu/johs/ or reach out to the editorial office at johs@utk.edu. We are happy to answer any questions.


    Thank you for considering this invitation and for the important work this community does every day.

    Hello @Bre Hoffman (they/m),

    Thank you for asking. This is a volunteer role, which is typical for academic peer review, but it is also a meaningful way to contribute to the field. As a JOHS reviewer, you would help shape emerging work in the One Health space while building professional service experience that can be included on your CV. It is also a nice opportunity to stay engaged with new research, and the time commitment is designed to be manageable.

    I would be happy to share the Reviewer Handbook if it would be helpful in giving you a fuller sense of the role. If you are interested, please feel free to email me directly at johs@utk.edu.

    Thank you!
