Hi all,
I have been contemplating on restarting peer reviewing manuscripts for journals after almost a decade. However, it seems to me like the journals these days only accept those with PhD and/or published papers as potential reviewers. Is my assessment of the situation correct or are there any good journals which accept individuals with masters degree and no publications as potential peer reviewers (I do have an excellent master’s thesis).

On a side note, this development, if true, is very surprising to me because I remember being inundated with calls invitations to review papers when I only had an undergraduate degree.

P.S: I’m in the bioprocess/microbiology/biochemistry field.

Hello all,

I have developed quite an interest in strain engineering and have been contemplating going for a PhD. However, it’s not clear to me if genetic engineering programs are what I’m looking for. If anyone has an idea about which grad schools are considered the best for strain engineering then I would be really grateful for their input.
