peer reviewing
JoCAT relies on the generous contributions made by a number of peer reviewers to ensure that our anonymous peer review process is undertaken in a most professional and rigorous manner. As the journal grows, we need ever more peer reviewers to volunteer their time and expertise. ANZACATA supports reviewers to claim CPD points, in recognition that reviewing creative arts therapy manuscripts develops that reviewer’s relevant professional skills, as well as contributing to the arts therapy profession.
If you have an academic background, have had articles published (especially in arts therapy journals) or work in an academic environment and are research active, we need you! Even if you don’t fit these categories but would like to develop your skills and experience in this area, we would like to hear from you.
