Reviewers Guidelines

We consider manuscript refereeing a highly-regarded and honorable service to the readers and the scientific community at large. Reviewers play a pivotal role not only in evaluating individual manuscripts but also in determining the overall quality of the journal. Therefore, we take great care when choosing reviewers, considering their expertise, reputation, and past experiences with them.

Confidentiality

Reviewers should treat the entire review process and any correspondence with strict confidentiality. They should not discuss the manuscript with anyone not involved in the review process without the editor's prior consent. The anonymity of the reviewers is essential for an objective review, and we do not disclose their identities to the authors or other reviewers unless a reviewer specifically requests us to do so.

Timeliness

Our aim is to complete the review process and publish manuscripts as promptly as possible to maintain the timeliness of published research. We ask reviewers to respond to the editor's initial contact within 24 hours and to submit their review report within 5 days unless otherwise agreed with the editor.

Constructive Feedback

Reviewers should consider that authors have likely put significant effort into their research and manuscript. Therefore, review reports should be critical yet constructive, avoiding offensive or discouraging language. Reviewers' reports are typically conveyed to the authors as written, but in rare cases, if a review contains unfair language or reveals confidential information, we may edit it appropriately.

Review Report Content

When writing your review report, please consider the following points:

  • Originality: Is the work original and novel? If not, why?
  • Interest: Is the work of general or specialized interest?
  • Research Question: Is the research question clearly defined and answered?
  • Design: Is the study adequately designed to answer the research question?
  • Abstract: Does it correctly summarize the study?
  • Introduction: Does it provide an appropriate basis for the study?
  • Methods: Are the methodological details sufficient? Is the statistical analysis appropriate and sound? Are additional statistical tests needed?
  • Results: Are the results logically presented and do they answer the research question?
  • Discussion: Is the literature appropriately and fairly cited? Are the results clearly and justifiably discussed in light of published literature?
  • Conclusions: Are the claims and inferences drawn from the study justified and convincing, or do they need further evidence? Should additional conclusions be drawn from the presented data?
  • References: Are they up-to-date and relevant? Has any relevant reference been omitted?
  • Ethical Issues: Does the research raise any ethical concerns regarding the use of animal or human subjects?
  • Overall Readability: Is the manuscript clearly and concisely written? If not, how could it be improved? Could it be shortened?
