Reviewer Guideline
An invitation email with the article title, abstract, reviewing due date, and link to access reviewer’s dashboard will be sent to the verified reviewer where the reviewer can login using their user id and password to accept or decline the review request. If the reviewer chooses to accept the reviewing tasks a page of reviewing guidelines will open which will contain a brief instruction for the reviewer and few links to additional resources for the reviewer. After reading the guideline reviewer can click on the “continue to step #3” tab which will enable downloading the full manuscript and a filling review response form. Review response form normally contains few questionnaires and two textboxes; one for writing comments to the author and other for writing confidential comments to the editor. The reviewer can fill this response form when ready to provide feedback and select recommendation from the dropdown list then click on the ‘submit review’ button. Additionally, the reviewer may upload their review report as a word/pdf file attachment which is optional and not recommended unless necessary due to mathematical symbols/typo requirement.
