Reviewers are expected to provide fair, constructive, confidential, and timely evaluations. Review reports should help editors make decisions and help authors improve their manuscripts.

  • Accept review assignments only when the manuscript matches your expertise and schedule.
  • Declare any conflict of interest before accepting the review.
  • Treat manuscripts and review materials as confidential documents.
  • Evaluate originality, relevance, method, analysis, structure, references, ethics, and contribution.
  • Provide clear comments for authors and confidential recommendations for editors when needed.
  • Do not use unpublished manuscript content for personal advantage.
