How to peer review for Hindawi

该评审报告应全面批判的提交和包括远比一些简短的句子了。Hindawi出版不需要报告特定的结构,但是,建议格式为:

  • 摘要
  • Major issues
  • Minor issues

We encourage reviewers to help authors improve their manuscript. The report should give constructive analysis to authors, particularly where revisions are recommended. Where reviewers do not wish authors to see certain comments, these can be added to the confidential comments to the Academic Editor.

While expectations vary by discipline, some core aspects that should be critiqued by reviewers may include:

  • 是研究问题是否有效?
  • Is the sample size sufficient?
  • 有必要的伦理批准和/或同意吗and was the research ethical?
  • Are the methods and study design appropriate for answering the research question?
  • 不要实验有适当的控制?
  • Is the reporting of the methods, including any equipment and materials, sufficiently detailed that the research might be reproduced?
  • Are any statistical tests used appropriate and correctly reported?
  • Are the figures and tables clear and do they accurately represent the results?
  • Has previous research by the authors and others been discussed and have those results been compared to the current results?
  • Are there any inappropriate citations, for example, not supporting the claim being made or too many citations to the authors' own articles?
  • Do the results support the conclusions?
  • Are limitations of the research acknowledged?
  • Is the abstract an accurate summary of the research and results, without spin?
  • Is the language clear and understandable?

To help authors receive timely reviews, reviewer reports should be submitted via the manuscript tracking system on or before the agreed deadline. Reviewers should contact Hindawi if they are unable to meet the deadline so an alternative date can be arranged.

We encourage reviewers to focus their reports on objectively critiquing the scientific aspects of the submission, including the soundness of the methodology and whether the conclusions can be supported by the results. Comments may also be given on novelty and the potential impact of the work. At the end of their review, we ask reviewers to recommend one of the following actions:

  • 发布未改变
  • 考虑较小的变动后
  • Consider after Major Changes
  • Reject: Manuscript is flawed or not sufficiently novel

However, it is important to note that the overall decision will be made by the Academic Editor.
