REVIEWER TASKS

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer review assists editors in making editorial decisions and through editorial communication with authors can also assist authors in improving their papers.

Velocity

Any selected Article who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that a prompt review is not possible should notify the editor and withdraw from the review process.

Confidentiality

Any manuscripts received for review should be treated as confidential documents. They should not be shown or discussed with others except as authorised by the editor.

Objektivity Standard

The review should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of authors is not allowed. Editors should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Source Recognition

Reviewers should identify relevant published works that have not been cited by the authors. Any assertion that an observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. Reviewers should also bring to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published papers of which they have personal knowledge.

AUTHOR TASKS

Reporting Standard

The author of the original research report should present an accurate account of the work done as well as an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data must be accurately represented in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the work.

Authors should ensure that they have written original work throughout, and if the author has used the work and/or words of others that these have been appropriately cited or quoted.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent

An author should not generally publish a manuscript describing essentially the same research in more than one major journal or publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable publishing behaviour.

Source Recognition

Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
