I recall how nervous I felt the first time I was invited to peer review. I had perhaps five published research articles at the time and was awaiting the verdict on my application for tenure and promotion, but I still felt positively green as a researcher. I was flattered that the editor had identified me from one of my publications and invited me to review; it felt good to be acknowledged as an expert, and that feeling made me accept the invitation—but then a wave of impostor phenomenon descended upon me.
