For reviewers
We use a double-anonymized review: author and reviewer identities are concealed. Each submission is assessed by at least two independent reviewers who provide constructive, fair, and timely reports. Reviews address the work’s novelty and significance, the adequacy of the introduction and references, clarity of results, soundness of methods, and whether interpretations and conclusions are supported; they also consider the quality of the abstract and language. Reviewers indicate a publication priority (1–10), rate reader interest, quality, originality/novelty, significance, and overall merit, and recommend acceptance, minor revision, major revision, or rejection. All reviews are confidential and impartial; any conflicts of interest and suspected plagiarism or ethical issues must be reported to the editor. The standard deadline is 21 days from accepting the invitation. Reports are uploaded via the journal’s submission system, with detailed comments for authors (example of review form)
