What Should Be Evaluated in the Reviewer’s Report?

Reviewers are expected to provide a structured and comprehensive evaluation of the manuscript, covering the following areas: relevance to the journal’s scope, originality and novelty of the research, scientific soundness of methodology, validity of data analysis, clarity and replicability of procedures, identification of technical or factual errors, assessment of ethical compliance including plagiarism and conflicts of interest, and overall academic presentation including language quality, logical structure, figures, tables, charts, and proper referencing.
