Peer review
Principles peer reviewers should adhere to:
Review all articles objectively, without bias or favouritism based upon the origin of the article, gender, race, national origin, ethnicity, religious or political beliefs, sexual orientation or age of the authors, or commercial considerations. Review articles solely in subject areas in which they have expertise. Before consenting to review an article, ensure sufficient time and resource availability to complete a comprehensive assessment of the article in a timely manner. Decline to review articles that create a conflict of interest, or the appearance thereof, which can arise from the content of the article, its authors and/or its funders. When in doubt, peer reviewers should disclose the potential conflict of interest to the publisher and seek advice before proceeding with the review. Provide reviews that are constructive and impartial, devoid of any hostile, inflammatory, libellous, unfair or unnecessarily derogatory comments. During and after the peer review process, maintain the confidentiality of unpublished articles and refrain from discussing them with others. Refrain from using research or information contained in unpublished articles for any purpose, including personal gain or the advantage or disadvantage of any other person or organisation. Promptly disclose to an article’s editor that the article has not properly cited its sources, or contains errors or material omissions.
