Welcome to the MDPI Reviewer Club 2025 | Public Health and Medicine Session.
At MDPI, we recognize that peer review is the foundation of scientific progress. The integrity, transparency, and quality of our journals depend on the careful evaluations provided by our reviewers. In 2024, more than 215,000 reviewers contributed over 1.2 million reports to MDPI journals. This achievement reflects the strength of our community, and it is through the expertise and dedication of reviewers like you that scholarly communication continues to advance worldwide.
The MDPI Reviewer Club series was created to acknowledge this important role and to provide a space for sharing experiences, exchanging best practices, and building connections within our reviewer community.
If you are not yet part of this community, we warmly invite you to apply to join us as a reviewer here. For further details about reviewing with MDPI, please also visit our Guidelines for Reviewers, where you will find information on reviewer responsibilities, ethics, and the peer review process.
We also encourage you to subscribe to the Reviewer Club series to o receive the latest updates and notifications about upcoming sessions, by visiting this link.
