How many manuscripts will I be asked to review?
You will be given an abstract of the manuscript when you are invited to review it, and you have the option of accepting or declining the review.  If you accept it, you will usually have 30 days to complete the process.  Many reviewers write 2 to 4 manuscript reviews per year; Editorial Board members complete more.  Each manuscript is typically sent to 2 reviewers.

How will I know what to do?
Instructions for how to write the review have recently been revised and will provide detailed information for all reviewers.

The review has 2 parts:
 1.  comments for the author;
 2.  confidential comments for the editor, including a rating
          of the manuscript on a 4-point scale.

You will evaluate the manuscript for:
 • Adequacy of the rationale for the study or report
 • Accuracy and scope of the literature reviewed
 • Appropriateness of the research design, data analysis, and
          interpretation of results for research investigations
