Abstract

AIM

The aim of this study was to uncover what it is like to be a novice peer reviewer for journals that publish articles that can influence nursing education and/or practice.

BACKGROUND

Comprehensive and effective approaches to reviewer development, based on reviewer experience, were not reported in the literature.

METHOD

The study followed a hermeneutic phenomenological approach. Data were collected via personal interviews and a demographic questionnaire.

RESULTS

Eleven novice reviewers, who had reviewed no more than five journal manuscripts, participated in the study. Thematic analysis uncovered five themes: sitting at the grown-up's table, building and using the toolbox, putting in the human factor, assuming this is what you're looking for, and appreciating the experience.

CONCLUSION

This study is the first to uncover the experience of being a novice journal peer reviewer. Findings can inform the creation of comprehensive development programs to support new and continuing journal peer reviewers.
