Information to Reviewers

Information to Reviewers

If you are interested in reviewing articles for one or more of our journals, please register your contact details, including your ORCID identifier, institutional affiliation, a short CV, and 5-6 keywords in line with your expertise to mail at manager.sxpublication@gmail.com. The managing editors of the selected journals will send you a notification once approved.

Manuscripts submitted to selected journals are reviewed by subject experts. Reviewers are asked to evaluate the quality of the manuscript and to provide a recommendation to the external editor on whether a manuscript can be accepted, requires revisions or should be rejected.

We ask invited reviewers to:

accept or decline any invitations quickly, based on the manuscript title and abstract;
suggest alternative reviewers if an invitation must be declined;
request an extension in case more time is required to compose a report;
let us know if anyone else, such as a student, will participate in writing the review.

As part of the assessment, reviewers will be asked:

to evaluate the originality, significance, quality of the presentation, scientific soundness, interest to the readers, overall merit and English level of the manuscript;
to look at the reference list of the manuscript and check if there are inappropriate self-citations;
to provide an overall recommendation for the publication of the manuscript;
to provide a detailed, constructive review report
