For Reviewers

Guidelines for Reviewers

JIEGG is committed to serving authors and the broader research community by publishing as much high-quality as possible—provided it meets our rigorous standards for research conduct and ethics, and successfully passes peer review. These reviewer guidelines are based on the Committee on Publication Ethics Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers, which also offer additional guidance on conducting objective and constructive reviews.

• Peer review mode: JIEGG employs double-blind peer review, with neither the reviewer's nor the author's name disclosed to the other.
• Reviewer Responsibilities: Should we require your assistance in evaluating a manuscript, you will receive an email prompting you to accept or decline the invitation via our submission system. Reviewers help ensure that studies published in JIEGG are methodologically sound, scientifically credible, ethically compliant, and reported in line with relevant guidelines. The Editorial Office makes the final decision on manuscript acceptance or rejection, based on reviewers’ comments.
• To become a reviewer: To join our journal as a reviewer, please email the Editorial Office at journal-office@mospbs.com with your CV and a note specifying your review interests.
• Competing Interests: Disclose any personal, professional, or financial conflicts through the submission system.
• Review Process: maintain fairness and objectivity, and focus criticism on methodological soundness rather than personal perspectives. Kindly note any missing information or inaccuracies in your feedback.
• Confidentiality: Treat all manuscripts as confidential. Do not share details with third parties or upload to AI tools without prior editorial approval. If using AI to assist your review, disclose this to the editors and verify AI-generated content for accuracy.
• Collaboration: If discussing a manuscript with colleagues, remind them to maintain confidentiality, acknowledge their input in your review, and encourage them to register as reviewers.
• Ethical Concerns: Please report plagiarism or other ethical issues directly to the Editorial Office at journal-office@mospbs.com.
