  1. Make a Recommendation
    • Once you’ve read the paper and assessed its quality, you need to make a recommendation to the editor regarding publication. The key decisions are:
      • Accept: If the paper is appropriate for publication in its present format.
      • Minor Revision: If the paper will be ready for publication after minor revisions. Please list the recommended revisions point by point.
      • Major Revision: If the paper would benefit from substantial changes such as expanded data analysis, a broader literature review, or rewriting sections of the text.
      • Reject: If the paper is not suitable for publication with this journal or if the necessary revisions are too fundamental for the submission to continue being considered in its current form.
