Peer Review Policies
Peer review policies are processes that ensure the quality of intellectual work by having experts evaluate submitted articles. These policies can include:
- Confidentiality: Submitted manuscripts are treated as confidential documents, and the identities of reviewers are kept secret.
- Conflicts of interest: Reviewers and editors must disclose any conflicts of interest with the authors, and remove themselves from the review process if necessary.
- Double-blind review: Authors and reviewers do not know each other's identities.
- Minimum number of reviewers: Some journals require a minimum of two external reviewers.
- Review criteria: Reviewers assess articles against the journal's criteria, which may include the novelty, significance, and excellence of the research.
- Reviewer recommendations: Reviewers may recommend accepting the manuscript without changes, accepting after minor revisions, or rejecting the manuscript.
