We’d like to keep improving our review process, and part of that means making sure that authors understand what happens when an item is submitted for review.
Reviewers use a combination of pre-prepared review responses and handwritten, personalised notes. The pre-prepared responses handle the most common errors and issues we see in the review queue and are standardised to ensure that each review is as informative and clear as possible.
