# Choosing evaluators (considerations)

## Things we consider in choosing evaluators (i.e., 'reviewers')

1. Did the people who *suggested* the paper suggest any evaluators?
2. We prioritize our "evaluator pool" (people who signed up; see "[how to get involved](https://open-2c.gitbook.com/url/globalimpact.gitbook.io/the-unjournal-project-and-communication-space/readme-1/call-for-participants-research)")
3. Expertise in the aspects of the work that need evaluation
4. Interest in the topic/subject
5. Conflicts of interest (especially co-authorships)
6. *Secondary concerns:* Likely alignment and engagement with *Unjournal's* priorities. Good writing skills. Time and motivation to write the evaluation promptly and thoroughly.
