For reviewers
Conflict of interest In each case, reviewers are requested to report a conflict of interest if they suspect that it may occur based on the content of the manuscript received. If the conflict of interest is confirmed by the Editorial Board, the reviewers are asked to reject the review offer. Content of the review Reviewers are expected to provide an objective evaluation of the manuscript in terms of the concepts of the conducted research or experiments, their usefulness for current scientific knowledge, scientific content, language and grammar. Reviewers make recommendations concerning the publication of the manuscript along with a substantiation. If the manuscript requires some improvements before it can be accepted, reviewers are asked to make suggestions for such improvements. If the comments are negative, reviewers are asked to explain the shortcomings in the scientific content or language. We do not tolerate offensive or unethical comments or remarks. The Editorial Board allows for the possibility of editing the comments of reviewers in terms of factual or linguistic errors or to remove confidential information. Confidentiality of the review The reviewing process is confidential communication between reviewers, editors, the editorial staff and the corresponding author. Reviewers are obliged not to discuss the manuscripts received with people who are not directly involved in the evaluation process. GenAI Guidelines for Reviewers Reviews should only be undertaken by the appointed reviewer. The responsibilities and tasks involved in reviewing a paper can only be attributed to and performed by the human submitting the review. Journal not allow the use of GenAI tools in peer review due to concerns about accountability, accuracy, trustworthiness, confidentiality, copyright, privacy, and data security: Reviews should be written solely by the assigned reviewer. AI-generated reviews are not accountable or verifiable. Manuscripts under review must never be uploaded to public GenAI platforms, as this may violate confidentiality agreements and intellectual property rights. If a reviewer suspects undisclosed GenAI use in a submitted publication, he should report it to the handling editor for investigation. |
