Reviewer Guidelines
What is Peer review?
Peer review is the process of engaging substantive experts to read and comment on
new research in the fields in which they study in order to validate and certify that
research. It constitutes a form of self-regulation by qualified members of a profession
within the relevant field. Peer review methods are employed to maintain standards of
quality, improve performance, and provide credibility.

which they can be helpful to make improvements in their work, thus ensuring it is of
the highest standard possible.

further research in the field.
