Here are a few posts that other readers recommend you check out:
Psychologist Henry L. Roediger III gives some excellent advice for reviewing journals papers (two word summary: be nice!). Though a psychologist, his twelve tips should have applicability for all academic disciplines. An excerpt from his introduction follows:
Many critical skills needed for becoming a successful academic are typically not taught in graduate school, at least not in any formal way. One of these is how to review journal articles. Few students coming out of graduate school have much experience reviewing papers, and yet, at least for those students continuing on in research, reviewing is a skill that will be increasingly critical as their careers develop. In fact, being a good reviewer can greatly help a career. If a young psychologist becomes known as an excellent reviewer, he or she may be selected as consulting editor, then associate editor, and then perhaps the primary editor of a journal.
About the author: Shane is a post doctoral researcher in Psychology. When not doing things which end in athlon, and running around being busy, he wonders whether if he literally means running when he says he is running around, or if it is just a metaphor.

Reviewing journal articles is time consuming and sometimes onerous but ultimately it is a learning experience. We have set up a video journal website for pathology at http://www.PathLab.org and we have to review all the video material submitted. See http://www.PathLab.org for more information. Thank you
