A referee report consists of two parts: (i) a cover massage that includes a summary opinion, and (ii) the longer, more detailed report itself, intended to be transmitted to the author(s).
We prefer reports by e-mail. Postal mail and faxes are also acceptable. The preferred formats are Word or PDF documents.

Peer review objective

To select high quality articles, the review maintains a standard double-blind peer review processes.
The review strives to ensure that neither referee knows the author (s) or the other referee, and vice versa.

Cover message

The summary opinion to editor should be one of the following:
Accept in present form or with slight changes
Accept (with minor revisions)
Reject
Revise and resubmit

Comments for authors
Prepare your comments that include your reasons, suggestions and concerns. Comment on the manuscript’s originality, clarity, contribution to literature. Make suggestions about its length, organization, tables, and figures. If there is an important idea in the paper, make constructive comments and help authors publish the paper.
There are no guidelines on length of referees’ comments, other that the report should be long enough to provide a sufficient background for referee’s recommendation to the editor. On the average, the reports are 3 pages long, but there are shorter ones (often those recommending rejection) as well as longer ones (e.g., those with many specific comments).
