| + | ====== Instructions for Referees ====== | ||
| + | Consider the following questions when writing your report: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Assess significance | ||
| + | * Is the topic addressed important/interesting? (Does the review say why?) | ||
| + | * How original is the review? (compared with existing reviews of field?) | ||
| + | * Are the results reported significant? | ||
| + | * Verify accuracy | ||
| + | * Are all claims backed by evidence? | ||
| + | * Are the evidences relevant/reliable/sufficient? | ||
| + | * Are methods/results appropriate and well-described? | ||
| + | * Is important relevant work omitted? | ||
| + | * Does the review suffer from any bias? | ||
| + | * Improve clarity | ||
| + | * Is the review well organized? | ||
| + | * Do title/abstract accurately reflect content? | ||
| + | * Right level of detail? | ||
| + | * Language issues or typos? | ||
| + | |||
| + | The typical report consists of one page of plain text. To help the author and editor, all claims should be backed by evidence. | ||
| + | |||
| + | //A note on the format of your peer-review:// the best format to submit your review is just plain text pasted in the relevant fields. Alternatively, you can submit a PDF or DOC document, but be aware that your name might be included in the metadata of that document, thereby compromising your anonymity. | ||
