Reviewer Guidelines

• Judgments should be objective;
• Reviewers should have no conflict of interest with respect to the research, the authors, and/or the research funders;
• Reviewers should point out relevant published work that is not cited;
• Reviewed articles should be treated confidentially;
• Reviewers should maintain the confidentiality of the review process;
• Reviewers should immediately alert the journal editor of any real or potential competing interest that could affect the impartiality of their review and decline to review when appropriate
• Reviewers should conduct themselves fairly and impartially;
• We are aware, of course, that academics will come from a particular school of thought and/or may have strong ties to a particular interest. All we ask is that reviewers strive to act fairly. If in doubt about whether a conflict exists, a reviewer should be transparent and seek the views of the journal editor.
