Reviewers provide detailed feedback on experimental design, data interpretation, statistical analysis, and manuscript presentation. We employ single-blind peer review to ensure objective evaluation while protecting reviewer anonymity.
Editorial Decision Categories
Accept: Manuscript meets all quality standards and requires no further changes. Proceeds directly to production.
Minor Revision: Manuscript is fundamentally sound but requires small improvements (clarifications, additional references, minor data presentation changes). Typically resolved within 2 weeks.
Major Revision: Manuscript has merit but requires substantial improvements (additional experiments, expanded discussion, significant restructuring). Authors given 6-8 weeks for revision.
