Information For Reviewers

Responsibilities of Reviewers

Peer reviewers play a critical role in ensuring the quality, validity, and scholarly contribution of submitted manuscripts. Reviews should be conducted objectively, fairly, and constructively.

Reviewers must maintain the confidentiality of all manuscripts and associated materials received during the review process. Information obtained through peer review must not be used for personal advantage or shared with unauthorized parties.

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors and alert the editors to any potential ethical concerns, plagiarism, duplicate publication, or substantial overlap with previously published works. Reviewers must decline review assignments when conflicts of interest exist or when they are unable to provide an objective assessment.
