For Peer Reviewers

Updated May 27, 2026

Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD) welcomes public health professionals with expertise in chronic disease prevention and health promotion to serve as peer reviewers. All manuscripts published by PCD undergo rigorous evaluation by at least two peer reviewers, an Associate Editor, and the Editor in Chief. Our peer reviewers assess manuscripts for importance, originality, clarity, validity, adequacy of methods, and provide detailed comment on these and other qualities. Please read all pages of this section for more information on PCD’s peer review process..
