    Yes! Several recent invited reviewers did this. Hugely helpful!

    Danielle Levesque

    Seconded! And if you can't review please suggest alternates. Early career folks are always welcome and lots of journals make it easy to co-review with a trainee.

    If you're new and want reviewing opportunities make sure your Google Scholar, Scopus and ORCID etc are up to date so we can find you!
