• Scientific originality and contribution to the field
• Clarity of research objectives and questions

• Validity and interpretation of results
• Relevance and completeness of references Reviewers may recommend one of the following: acceptance, revision (minor or major), or rejection. All reviews must be constructive and evidence-based.
