1. Maintain Confidentiality and Objectivity

Reviewers must treat all manuscripts as confidential documents and should not share or discuss them with others without editorial permission. Reviews must be conducted impartially, focusing on the scholarly merits of the work rather than personal views or biases.

2. Provide Constructive and Evidence-Based Feedback

Reviews should be professional, respectful, and aimed at strengthening the manuscript. Feedback must be specific, evidence-based, and balanced—highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement in clarity, methodology, theoretical contribution, and practical relevance.

3. Declare Conflicts of Interest

Reviewers are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest, including personal, professional, or financial relationships that may compromise objectivity.

4. Timeliness and Professionalism

Reviewers should complete evaluations within the agreed review period to ensure an efficient editorial process. If unable to meet the deadline, reviewers must promptly inform the editor.
