Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

Single blind review

The names of the reviewers are hidden from the author.

• Reviewer anonymity allows for impartial decisions the reviewers will not be influenced by the authors.
• Authors may be concerned that reviewers in their field could delay publication, giving the reviewers a chance to publish first.
• Reviewers may use their anonymity as justification for being unnecessarily critical or harsh when commenting on the authors work.
