Responsibilities of Reviewers

Peer reviewers play an essential role in ensuring the quality of published research.

Reviewers must:

  • Provide objective, constructive, and timely evaluations.
  • Maintain confidentiality of all manuscripts under review.
  • Identify relevant published work not cited by the authors.
  • Inform the editor of any potential ethical concerns or plagiarism.

Reviewers should decline review assignments if they have conflicts of interest with the authors or research.
