Reviewers

Reviewers Role

What should be checked while reviewing a manuscript?

  • Innovation and originality
  • Scientific reliability
  • Ethical aspects
  • Providing all required information within established deadlines
  • Structure of the article submitted and its relevance to Authors’ Guidelines
  • Review the article in terms of authors' use of new references
  • Grammar, punctuation, spelling, and referencing and citation style of APA
  • Reporting possible research misconducts
  • Not identifying themselves to authors
  • Ensuring that the manuscript is of high quality and original work
  • Reviewing a manuscript critically but constructively and preparing detailed comments about the manuscript to help authors improve their work
  • Making recommendations to the editor regarding the suitability of the manuscript for publication in the journal
  • Reporting possible research misconducts (Plagiarism)
  • Treating the manuscript as a confidential document
  • Not communicating directly with authors, if somehow they identify the authors
  • Informing the editor if he/she finds the assigned manuscript is under consideration in any other publication to his/her knowledge
  • Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions
  • Reviewers through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper.
  • The referee has to inform the editor in chief concerning the considerable similarities and overlapping among the articles under reviewing or any other published article which he/she has encountered before.
  • Each referee who thinks that he/she seems to be unqualified to review an article, the topic of the article falls outside his/her area of expertise, does not have enough time because of the long process of reviewing, has no access to adequate facilities, and so on. He/ She has to inform the editor in chief and resigns from the process of reviewing the article.
  • Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
  • Confidentiality: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
  • Standards of Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
  • Acknowledgment of Sources: Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.
  • Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
