Call for Peer Reviewers

What the role involves:

You will be asked to independently evaluate the clarity, relevance, and overall merit of each submission, remaining anonymous to the authors. On average, you would be expected to read 3 proposals per week (roughly 15-20 in total). While the time needed for each proposal might vary, based on our experience 30 minutes per proposal would be considered a realistic allocation of time.

Clear written guidelines will be provided, and the Proposal Working Group will also be available at any time to support the peer reviewers if further clarification or help with scheduling is needed.

The review process will start rolling in October 2025 and must be completed by the 25 May 2026. All reviews are carried out online —materials and an easy-to-use evaluation form will be provided.

Workshops which are submitted in Chinese will be machine translated into English, evaluations and feedback will be done in English, and machine translated back as necessary.

We are looking for colleagues who can demonstrate most of the following:

1. Advanced Gestalt training (e.g., certification from a recognised institute)
2. Post-graduate qualifications (master’s or doctorate preferred)
3. Active clinical practice using Gestalt methods
4. Experience applying Gestalt in varied contexts (individual, group, organisational, community)
5. Ability to assess theoretical, philosophical, and phenomenological aspects of Gestalt theory
6. Sound knowledge of professional ethics (informed consent, confidentiality, boundaries)
7. Cultural sensitivity and diversity awareness
8. Fluency in the language of submission (English or Chinese)
9. Willingness to declare any conflicts of interest and to maintain confidentiality.

Desirable but not essential:

1. Previous peer-review experience (as reviewer or author)
2. Interdisciplinary insight (e.g., philosophy, phenomenology, neuroscience) Ongoing supervision or other professional development
3. A strong reviewer is knowledgeable, objective, detail-oriented, professional, and punctual.
