Reviewer Guidelines

In review processes, the identities of the author (s) and reviewer(s) are not disclosed. Pre-publication history of the articles, referee evaluation reports, and identity information of the reviewers are not shared with third parties unless there is written approval of the authors and reviewers, by COPE guidelines ¹. Reviewers should consider the "Ethical guidelines for peer reviewers".

Note: If requested by journal indexes such as Web of Science and TR DIZIN Index, some of these processes can be shared with the approval of the Editor-in-Chief based on the confidentiality of the identifying information of the reviewers.

The ethical obligations of reviewers encompass avoiding bias, respecting intellectual property rights, and acknowledging the contributions of others. Reviewers are expected to uphold the highest ethical standards throughout their evaluations, contributing to a fair and robust peer review system.

Peer reviewers play a pivotal role in maintaining the integrity and quality of the scholarly record, and the European Journal of Therapeutics values their crucial contributions. Reviewers are expected to provide an unbiased and constructive critique of the manuscripts assigned to them.

All reviews should be objective and focus on providing clear, helpful feedback that genuinely assists authors in improving their work.

Reviewers must treat all submitted manuscripts as confidential documents, refraining from disclosing any information about the work or using it for personal advantage.

Reviewers are obligated to declare any financial, personal, or academic relationships that could potentially influence their impartiality.

Timeliness in completing evaluations is highly encouraged to facilitate the prompt dissemination of important research findings and to support authors' careers. Reviewers are kindly requested to submit their assessments within the stipulated deadlines.
