For Reviewers

Thank you for supporting rigorous, independent peer review.

The review process

Reviewers receive an invitation containing only basic manuscript information. The full anonymized manuscript becomes available only after you accept the invitation. Identified manuscripts and author identities are never disclosed to reviewers.

Conducting your review

Reviews are submitted through a structured form with confidential comments to the editor and separate comments to the author. Provide constructive, specific, and respectful feedback.

Recommendations

Reviewers recommend one of: Accept, Minor Revisions, Major Revisions, Reject, or Resubmit for Review. The editor makes the final decision.

Confidentiality

Treat the manuscript as a confidential document. Do not share it or use its content before publication, and declare any competing interests.
