Peer review evaluates the quality, validity, and relevance of scholarly research. It aims to provide authors with constructive feedback from relevant experts, enabling them to enhance their work and ensure it meets the highest standards. Authors expect reviews to be honest, constructive, timely, clear, and concise. Despite its criticisms and limitations, peer review remains a widely accepted practice for maintaining journal quality.
Purpose of Review:
To assist authors in improving their manuscripts by applying your professional expertise.
To ensure a meticulous peer-review process that results in the publication of high-quality papers.
To inform authors of any additional literature that may provide useful comparisons or clarify their approach.
Guidelines:
Refer to the Journal Guidelines to ensure the manuscript meets the submission criteria.
Complete the review and upload your comments on the ‘Journal Platform,’ indicating the manuscript’s relative strengths and weaknesses.
After assessing the manuscript’s quality, recommend one of the following actions to the editor:
Provide detailed comments suitable for transmission to the authors.
Mention any points that are unclear and seek clarification or further elaboration from the author.
Assess if the manuscript’s subject is sufficiently interesting to justify its length; if not, suggest specific areas for shortening.
Correct the English where the technical meaning is unclear.
Submit your comments to the editor once they are pasted or uploaded; the editor will then send them to the author(s) for revisions.
If you cannot complete your report within the agreed timeframe, inform the editor to avoid delaying the refereeing process.
Notify the editors of any potential conflicts of interest that may affect the manuscript under review.
