Interested in serving as a journals reviewer?
Reviewers are the cornerstone of journals publishing. Our journals editors rely on volunteers with demonstrated expertise across the full spectrum of the science of food, from around the world, to provide critical feedback on manuscript submissions.
Before completing this form, please review the information about reviewing manuscript submissions for IFT’s Scientific Journals, including requirements and details of our peer-review process, here: Reviewer Resources - IFT.org
If you have not had formal reviewer training or mentorship, we highly recommend taking a reviewer training course online. Several free courses are linked on the Reviewer Resources page.
If you do not already have an account on our ScholarOne Manuscripts site, create one now. Be sure to add appropriate keywords and areas of expertise to your account, as editors use these terms to match manuscripts to potential reviewers.
Your application will be reviewed to verify that you meet the criteria to serve as a reviewer. If you do, the reviewer role will be added to your ScholarOne Manuscripts account, and your information will be passed on to the Associate Editors.

Please note that current students do not qualify to serve as reviewers. We have a mentored reviewer program for students. Contact journals@ift.org for more information.
