This journal uses a single-anonymous model of peer review. The author does not know the identity of the reviewers, but the reviewers know the identity of the author.
Peer Review
Cambridge University Press is committed to peer-review integrity and upholding the highest standards of review. Once your paper has been assessed for suitability by the Editor-in-Chief, it will then be single blind peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. If you’d like to learn more about reviewing papers, here are some introductory resources for peer reviewers on Cambridge Core.
Peer Review Terminology
Epidemiology & Infection and Cambridge University Press are participating in a pilot of STM's Working Group on Peer Review Terminology.
Background statement: "STM, the International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers, has recognised a need to identify and standardise definitions and terminology in peer review practices in order to help align nomenclature as more publishers use open peer review models. A peer review terminology that is used across publishers will help make the peer review process for articles and journals more transparent, and will enable the community to better assess and compare peer review practices between different journals."
Terminology:
- Identity transparency: Single anonymized
- Reviewer interacts with: Editor
- Review information published: None
We would welcome your feedback on the Peer Review Terminology Pilot - please can you take the time to fill this short survey.
