Peer review is the cornerstone of scholarly publishing, and we are deeply grateful for the essential service our reviewers provide. These guidelines are intended to assist reviewers in providing high-quality, constructive feedback to authors and editors. We ask our reviewers to adhere to the principles outlined in the ethical guidlines for peer reviewrs.

• Objectivity and Constructiveness: Reviews should be objective evaluations of the manuscript's scholarly merit. Feedback should be constructive, professional, and aimed at improving the quality of the paper.

• Confidentiality: Manuscripts under review are confidential documents. Reviewers must not share any information about the manuscript or its contents with any third party.

• Declaring Conflicts of Interest: Reviewers must declare any potential conflicts of interest (financial, personal, or professional) that could compromise their impartiality and should recuse themselves if a conflict exists. 

• Timeliness: We kindly request that reviewers complete their evaluations within the timeframe specified in the review invitation to facilitate a timely decision-making process for our authors.
