Maintaining Excellence in Peer Review
At Globalmeetx, reviewers are essential in maintaining the integrity, quality, and credibility of academic publishing. The following principles define our expectations for ethical and professional peer review:
Confidentiality
All manuscripts under review must be kept confidential. Content must not be shared, discussed, or stored without prior approval from the Editor. Reviewer identities should remain anonymous in accordance with our double-blind review policy.
Subject Expertise
Review assignments should be accepted only if the topic aligns with the reviewer's area of expertise. If not, reviewers are encouraged to decline promptly to ensure a fair and accurate evaluation.
Constructive Feedback
Reviews must be objective, respectful, and backed by scientific reasoning. Constructive criticism should highlight strengths, address weaknesses, and suggest clear improvements. Offensive or biased language is strictly prohibited.
Timely & Responsible Review
Reviews should be completed within the given timeframe. If a delay is unavoidable, prompt communication with the Editor is essential. Reviewers are also expected to respond professionally to follow-up queries.
Ethical Integrity
Any signs of plagiarism, data manipulation, or ethical concerns must be reported immediately. Reviewers must remain unbiased, focusing solely on scientific merit—regardless of the author's background or affiliations.
Conflict of Interest
Any potential conflicts financial, institutional, or personal must be disclosed to the Editor. Reviewers should withdraw if they cannot ensure impartiality.
Open Communication
Professional communication with the editorial team is essential. Reviewers should remain engaged and responsive throughout the peer review process.
