How to peer review for EAJSE

As a reviewer, you will play a vital role in ensuring the quality and integrity of the articles published in The Eurasian Journal of Science and Engineering (EAJSE). The key reviewer questionnaire is:

Manuscript questions

Poor

Average

Good

Excellent

Do the title and abstract cover the main aspects of the paper? Would it attract the interest of the right audience?

 

 

 

 

Is the Introduction well written for most readers of the targeted journal? Does it cite the appropriate papers? Does it provide a hypothesis or aim of the study?

 

 

 

 

Does the Methods section provide enough details for the general reader to repeat the experiments?

 

 

 

 

If you skip the Methods, does the Results section give the right amount of detail to understand the basic details of the experiments?

 

 

 

 

Do the Results refer to the figures in a logical order? Do the numbers in the tables add up correctly? Are any figures/tables mislabeled or unclear?

 

 

 

 

Given the data obtained in this study, did the authors perform all the logical analyses? Did they include the proper controls?

 

 

 

 

Does the Discussion address the main findings, and does it give proper recognition to similar work in this field?

 

 

 

 

In general, is the paper easy to follow and has a logical flow? Are there any language issues?

 

 

 

 

Did the authors make all their data (if there is) (e.g. sequence reads, code, questionnaires used) available for the readers?

 

 

 

 

Is this paper novel and advancing the field, or have other people done similar work?

 

 

 

 

Does the paper raise any ethical concerns? Any suspicion of plagiarism (text or experiments), duplicated or tampered images, lack of Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, unethical animal experiments, or “dual use of research concern”?

Privacy

During the peer review process, the utmost confidentiality of manuscripts is imperative. Reviewers are required to maintain strict confidentiality and refrain from sharing manuscripts or discussing their contents with individuals not involved in the peer review process.

In exceptional cases, upon request, reviewers may consult with colleagues from their research group. Such consultations should occur under the assumption that manuscript confidentiality is upheld. Prior to engaging in such consultations, reviewers must inform Sectional Editor or the Managing Editor overseeing the manuscript. Additionally, reviewers should document the names of the involved colleague(s) in the “Comments to the editor” section of their review report.
