摘要
Peer review can be relevant EB-1A evidence when it is documented and connected to evaluating the work of others in the field.
The preparation task is to prove what you reviewed, who asked you to review it, when it happened, and why that role reflects more than routine participation.
This page helps researchers turn scattered review emails into a clean evidence record.

Documents to collect
Researchers often have peer review evidence spread across email, publisher dashboards, Publons/Web of Science records, conference systems, or editor acknowledgments. The first step is to collect proof without exposing confidential manuscript content.
| Record | What it supports | Privacy note |
|---|---|---|
| Review invitation | Who invited you and for what venue | Redact manuscript title if confidential |
| Completion acknowledgment | That review work was completed | Avoid reviewer comments or manuscript content |
| Reviewer dashboard | Volume and dates of review activity | Crop or redact private material |
| Editorial board or panel page | Formal judging role | Use public page where available |
Add quality context without overclaiming
A list of reviews is better than a vague claim, but context makes it more useful. Include venue reputation, selection process if known, subject matter, and whether the role was ad hoc review, panel service, editorial board work, or grant review.
If the context is unknown, mark it unknown. Do not invent selectivity.
- Journal or conference name and field.
- Number of completed reviews.
- Date range.
- Whether the applicant was invited individually, served on a panel, or held an ongoing role.
Common gaps
The most common gap is claiming peer review without documentary support. The second is listing review work but failing to show it involved evaluating the work of others in the same or allied field.
A reviewer inventory should be exhibit-ready: each line should point to a document, screenshot, public page, or redacted email.

常见问题
Can I use journal peer review as EB-1A judging evidence?
Peer review can be relevant evidence, but the record should document the role and context. Whether it satisfies any legal standard is a legal review question.
Can I include confidential manuscripts?
No. Do not disclose confidential manuscript content. Use invitations, acknowledgments, dashboards, and redacted records that show the judging role without exposing protected information.
Is one peer review enough?
There is no universal number. The preparation question is how well the review work is documented and how it fits with the rest of the evidence map.
