REVIEWER GUIDE

Reviewer plays an essential role in the peer review process. Efforts of reviewers are the key to the objectives of a fair and timely review process for all of our manuscripts and the publications of only papers of the highest quality. We greatly appreciate the reviewers for their help in meeting these important objectives.
 
Fairness of Review
 
Reviewers shall regard a submitted manuscript as a privileged and confidential document and not meant to be public. They should not use, share or disclose unpublished information in a manuscript without the authors' permission. The review process shall ensure that all authors can publish their papers equally.
 
Type of Peer Review
 
All the journals employ double-masked peer review, where the referee remains anonymous throughout the process. To keep reviewer confidentiality, we never disclose the names of reviewers to authors.
