Double-Blind Peer Review

Peer-Review Invitation

Peer-review Invitation

Reviewers are invited via email to appraise manuscripts, requiring them to accept or decline the invitation through the submission system. They can suggest alternative reviewers if declining. Accepted reviewers should rate the manuscript based on UK Zhende Publication Ltd criteria and provide an overall recommendation.

Conflicts of Interests

Reviewers must disclose any conflicts of interest to editors or managing editors and recuse themselves if necessary. Conflicts include recent publications with any author, shared affiliations, collaborations, personal connections, financial interests, or inability to remain objective.

Writing Your Review Report

Detailed review reports should be specific and help editors make final decisions. Reports should critique the data quality, support for conclusions, and the presentation of figures and tables, referring to specific lines when necessary.

Recommendations

Recommendations are provided as follows:
Accept Submission: The paper is accepted without any future changes
Minor Revision: The paper is in principle accepted after revision based on the reviewer’s comments. Authors are given seven days for minor revisions.
Major Revision: The acceptance of the manuscript would depend on the revisions. The author needs to provide a point by point response or provide a rebuttal if some of the reviewer’s comments cannot be revised. Usually, only one round of major revisions is allowed. Authors will be asked to resubmit the revised paper within ten days and the revised version will be returned to the reviewer for further comments.
Decline: The article has serious flaws, makes no original contribution, and the paper is rejected with no offer of resubmission to the journal.
