DSJ Online strives to ensure that the most appropriate Reviewers and Associate Editors are asked to be involved in a particular manuscript's review process. To this end, when updating their profiles through the Review Center, Reviewers and Associate Editors must indicate suitable key words for Topic and Methodological Areas that define their expertise and for which they are willing to review manuscripts. Topic and Methodological Areas selected will appear in Review Board members' public profiles.

You will be asked to identify at least five (5) and no more than twelve (12) Topic Areas, and at least two (2) and no more than eight (8) Methodological Areas. To assist the Editorial Team in selecting appropriate reviewers, you may also provide additional key words not shown on the selection lists.

You will also be asked to rank order your selections from 1 (high) to 8 (low).

To streamline your Update User Profile process, please review and select the appropriate key words from the Topic and Methodological Areas below so you have them ready to include on your Update User Profile form. You might find it easiest to print the lists and consider the areas to choose. Then, after entering the Review Center, select "Update User Profile" to input your selections.
