 Call for
Manuscript Reviewers
The Journal of Geriatric Physical
Therapy is seeking to expand it’s cadre of
reviewers for manuscripts, books and media submitted
for peer review.
Experienced and novice reviewers
are invited to apply. Anticipated commitment is 4

new to the process to experienced reviewers for mentorship
during the first year as a reviewer. The

developing a resource manual to guide the peer-review
process. “How to be an effective reviewer” sessions
(sponsored by the Journal of Physical Therapy) will
be available at the 2008 Combined Sections Meetings. A
meeting of all JGPT reviewers is planned for CSM 2008
