Guidelines for Reviewers

The collaborative efforts of the editorial board and peer reviewers contribute to sound decision-making regarding research papers. Reading the research and providing authors with constructive feedback helps address shortcomings and improve the paper.

To ensure the quality of research published in the journal, we kindly request that reviewers observe the following:

• Respond to notifications received from the journal by accepting or rejecting submissions.

• If a submission is received that falls outside the reviewer's area of expertise, please do not accept it for review.

• If you accept a submission, please submit your review results within the specified timeframe.

• The journal is committed to maintaining the confidentiality of the review process. Therefore, we ask reviewers to treat all submitted research with the utmost confidentiality.

• Reviewers should maintain objectivity and refrain from personal criticism of the author.

• Reviewers should express their opinions on the research clearly and with supporting arguments.

• One of the criteria for evaluating research is the sources and references used. Therefore, the research must be well-documented, and the sources and references relevant to the research topic must be clearly identified and cited. It is advisable to cite them if they are not already present.

• Utilizing and referencing peer-reviewed research occurs after its publication.

• In case of a conflict of interest, we kindly request that reviewers immediately inform the editor-in-chief to avoid any delay in referring the research to an alternative reviewer.
   

Sincerely
