How we evaluate our reviewers:
Editors assess every reviewer report using a 1 to 5 rating scale, where a score of 5 indicates an exceptionally high-quality review.
Below are the specific criteria required for a reviewer report to receive the top score of 5:
| Criteria | Level to be rated 5 out of 5 |
| Thoroughness | Detailed and very thorough: comments on essentially all sections of the manuscript |
| Assessment of significance | Comments on the significance of the work within the context of the field |
| Literature comparison | Includes a comprehensive comparison with existing literature |
| Feedback quality | Constructive feedback that enables the author(s) to improve the manuscript |
| Recommendation | Recommendation is clearly justified and consistent with the journal’s editorial standards |
| Timeliness | Submitted in the agreed timeframe |
