Editors evaluate whether manuscripts fit the journal and meet appropriate standards for ethics, originality and reporting. Decisions should be independent, evidence-based and free from conflicts of interest.
Reviewers should provide specific, constructive feedback on research questions, methods, analysis and interpretation. Disclose potential conflicts and do not share confidential manuscripts.
The editorial office manages submissions, reviewer assignments and reports in its secure workspace. Editors can request revisions and communicate decisions through the author tracking page.
