Dr. Pappadis Named Elite Reviewer for ACRM

Apr 29, 2022, 13:49 PM by SCOA

Monique Pappadis, MED, PhD has once again been named an Elite Reviewer, this time for 2021 for the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. She is 1 of 29 reviewers or the top 3% with this designation.

Elite status designation reflects the number, timeliness, and quality of reviews for the Archives in 2021 as judged by the editors. Selection for this designation reflects critical thinking and effective participation in the process of peer review.

The evaluation of an original manuscript is a difficult task requiring critical thinking and demanding time, effort, and clear articulation of opinions. It represents a true act of scholarship and is a necessary component of sound research.  

Congratulations, Dr. Pappadis!
