Include your core clinical or research domains, methodological strengths, publication background, peer-review experience, and realistic availability for editorial decisions. Specific expertise tags help match manuscripts to editor competency with minimal reassignment delay.

Applicants with interdisciplinary surgery backgrounds and strong evidence-evaluation skills are especially valuable for complex submissions.

Include clear subject boundaries, preferred manuscript types, and methodological strengths so the editorial office can route assignments effectively. Broad or generic profiles slow matching and increase reassignment risk.

Where possible, provide representative publications and prior review or editorial activity. Practical evidence of evaluation experience helps determine role fit and onboarding priority.

Define realistic availability for decision cycles to support predictable manuscript handling.

Applications that include concrete examples of methodological judgment, such as prior peer-review focus or evidence adjudication experience, are easier to evaluate for editorial readiness. Clear evidence of decision quality helps accelerate onboarding and assignment mapping. Concise, high-specificity applications consistently perform better than broad role-interest statements.

Include a short statement describing your preferred decision cadence and manuscript complexity level. This helps assignment planning and improves first-cycle fit between editorial responsibility and available capacity.

Applicants who clearly define domain boundaries and decision availability are onboarded more efficiently and assigned more appropriately from the start.
