Attachment:  Instructions for reviewers

Reviewing is a critical and demanding responsibility, as your evaluation often guides the editorial decision and significantly influences the fate of the manuscript. Your thorough assessments and constructive suggestions also play a vital role in enhancing the quality of the Slovenian Journal of Public Health. We deeply appreciate your valuable contribution.

The Slovenian Journal of Public Health is an established scientific journal with a 2024 impact factor of 2.5. It is important to recognize that acceptance for review does not guarantee eventual publication. Reviews should be composed in English and be comprehensive, detailed, and precise. Reviewers are expected to critically evaluate the manuscript’s content, methodological rigor, and alignment with the journal’s scope.

Please provide a balanced critique identifying the manuscript’s strengths, weaknesses, potential errors, and omissions. Your review should be structured to include major comments and specific suggestions for improvement. Kindly offer objective and constructive feedback addressing each component of the manuscript—including the title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, conclusions, references, tables, and figures.

Given that many submissions originate from early-career researchers who may lack extensive publishing experience, we encourage reviewers to provide supportive guidance to help authors refine their work, particularly for manuscripts presenting significant findings that may be expressed less formally.

Your expertise and dedication help maintain the high standards and continual improvement of our journal. Thank you for your commitment.
