Peer Review Policy

Generally, two reviewers will evaluate each manuscript on the basis of scientific rigor of the experimental design, adequacy of the data, validity of the conclusions, importance and originality of the studies, adequacy of the literature citations, clarity of the presentation, and interest to the Journal's readership. If reviewers differ significantly in their opinions, the opinion of an additional reviewer (arbiter) may be required. Normally, revised manuscripts are sent back to the original reviewers together with the authors' responses. 

The reviewers' comments will be shared exclusively with the participants in the review process. In all cases, anonymity of the reviewers will be maintained.
