Key Aspects for Review

Reviewers are advised to consider the following important aspects during the review process:

1

Reporting of Original Results

Results must be original and authentic. They should be devoid of any plagiarism and previously published material. New clinical trials with reproduced results may be considered.

2

Experiments and Analyses

Should meet recognized technical standards and be described systematically. Documentation of methods, experiments, and reagents must be detailed enough for accurate conclusions.

3

Interpretation of Results

Authors should interpret results and conclusions comprehensively. Incomplete interpretation may result in rejection.

4

Language of Composition

Must be written in clear, active English. Authors are encouraged to seek professional assistance for grammatical or linguistic inconsistencies.

5

Humans and Animals

Research must meet the highest applicable international standards of experimentation ethics and research integrity.

6

Reporting Standards

Adherence to guidelines like CONSORT, MIAME, STROBE, or EQUATOR is mandatory. Community standards for data availability (e.g., gene sequences) must be followed.

Important Points To Consider

  • Is the manuscript comprehensive and understandable?
  • Have adequate proofs been provided for the declarations?
  • Have the authors addressed the previous findings fairly?
  • Does the paper offer enough methodology details for reproduction?
  • Do any methods warrant a detailed protocol publication online?

Generative AI in Peer Review

Reviewers are advised not to use AI technologies or any other related assisting resources to generate review reports that could compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the reports.

Quality & Integrity

The quality of the peer review is our top priority. Assisting resources must not compromise the originality of the review.

Privacy Statement

Peer-review is a confidential process. Reviewers must consult the EiC/Senior Editor before consulting colleagues. No information should be disclosed before publication.

Prompt Review

Timely reports are essential for rapid publication, benefiting both authors and the wider scientific community.
