Instructions for peer reviewers
Articles are peer reviewed in a double-blind fashion (author names and referee names are concealed). Referee reports and other related correspondence will remain confidential and will not be shared. Referees are asked to treat submitted material in confidence until it has been published.
Peer review is the foundation of quality in research for both books and journals, ensuring that published research is rigorous and ethical. Peer reviewers can access a number of resources to assist them with their peer reviewing duties:
- How to peer review journal articles: a practical introduction to conducting peer reviews, especially for those who are new to the process
- Ethics in peer review
- Online peer review systems, and how to anonymously annotate manuscripts
- Peer review FAQs
The journal administrator is also happy to help with any queries regarding undertaking peer review assignments. Please contact the Editorial Office with any questions.
