We need reviewers to help make sure Piper Redux fully meets the needs of practicing fish culturists. Each chapter must be reviewed to ensure its content is easy to read, useful, and actionable—just like the 1st edition.
You do not need to be a subject matter expert to be a reviewer. The review process is meant to ensure that the information in each chapter is technically correct, but we are also looking for a ‘gut-check’. Is the chapter readable and understandable to entry-level fish culturists? Does it provide the how-to information that fish culturists need at their fingertips? In other words, does it have the same ‘feel’ as the 1st edition and does it have what it takes to become the go-to resource for the next 40 years of fish culture? Seasoned fish squeezers, students, and early-career fish culturists are all welcome to help us answer these questions!
Never been a reviewer before? No worries! How do you write a constructive review that helps make the manuscript better? What’s off-limits and what’s fair game? Where do you even start? All reviewers will be provided with instructions to guide them through this process.
