The peer review process can be broadly summarized into 10 steps, although these steps can vary slightly between journals. Explore what\u2019s involved, below.<\/span><\/p>

Editor Feedback: \u201cReviewers should remember that they are representing the readers of the journal. Will the readers of this particular journal find this informative and useful?\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>

1. Submission of Paper<\/span><\/b><\/h2>

The corresponding or submitting author submits the paper to the journal. This is usually via an online system such as Scholar-One Manuscripts. Occasionally, journals may accept submissions by email.<\/span><\/p>

2. Editorial Office Assessment<\/span><\/b><\/h2>

The journal checks the paper\u2019s composition and arrangement against the journal\u2019s Author Guidelines to make sure it includes the required sections and stylizations. The quality of the paper is not assessed at this point.<\/span><\/p>

3. Appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief (EIC)<\/span><\/b><\/h2>

The EIC checks that the paper is appropriate for the journal and is sufficiently original and interesting. If not, the paper may be rejected without being reviewed any further.<\/span><\/p>

4. EIC Assigns an Associate Editor (AE)<\/span><\/b><\/h2>

Some journals have Associate Editors who handle the peer review. If they do, they would be assigned at this stage.<\/span><\/p>

5. Invitation to Reviewers<\/span><\/b><\/h2>

The handling editor sends invitations to individuals he or she believes would be appropriate reviewers. As responses are received, further invitations are issued, if necessary, until the required number of acceptances is obtained \u2013 commonly this is 2, but there is some variation between journals.<\/span><\/p>

6. Response to Invitations<\/span><\/b><\/h2>

Potential reviewers consider the invitation against their own expertise, conflicts of interest and availability. They then accept or decline. If possible, when declining, they might also suggest alternative reviewers.<\/span><\/p>

7. Review is Conducted<\/span><\/b><\/h2>

The reviewer sets time aside to read the paper several times. The first read is used to form an initial impression of the work. If major problems are found at this stage, the reviewer may feel comfortable rejecting the paper without further work. Otherwise they will read the paper several more times, taking notes so as to build a detailed point-by-point review. The review is then submitted to the journal, with a recommendation to accept or reject it \u2013 or else with a request for revision (usually flagged as either major or minor) before it is reconsidered.<\/span><\/p>

8. Journal Evaluates the Reviews<\/span><\/b><\/h2>

The handling editor considers all the returned reviews before making an overall decision. If the reviews differ widely, the editor may invite an additional reviewer so as to get an extra opinion before making a decision.<\/span><\/p>

9. The Decision is Communicated<\/span><\/b><\/h2>

The editor sends a decision email to the author including any relevant reviewer comments. Whether the comments are anonymous or not will depend on the type of peer review that the journal operates.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
