Guidelines for Reviewers
In your review, please provide your assessment of how well the manuscript meets the criteria for publication (listed below). Bear in mind thatIJLSCI aims to provide a respected international forum for rapid review & publication of high-quality foundational research in all areas of Life Sciences. Our emphasis is on rigorous peer review to assess the validity, quality, and utility of the data and whether the research has been well-designed, executed, and described, as opposed to a focus on mechanistic insight or a subjective assessment of impact. The scopes of the journal include, but limited to the following topic areas: Biology, Life Science, Anatomy, Botany, Cytology, Genetics, Microbiology, Physiology, Zoology, Ecology, Environmental Science, Hydrobiology, Neurobiology, Developmental Biology, Immunology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Biotechnology, Genomics, and Proteomics. The Editorial Board of IJLSCI believes that the rapid dissemination of this research is the necessary foundation for analysis that leads to mechanistic insights.
Please offer your opinion of the quality of the work described in the manuscript, and whether you think the authors have made a contribution whose rapid dissemination would benefit Life Sciences researcher.
If you feel the manuscript has significant deficiencies, please provide a clear statement of your reasons. Clear description of the specific problem(s) with the manuscript will benefit the author and provide the Associate Editor with the necessary basis for decisive editorial action on the manuscript.
Please check that the data supporting the authors' conclusions are available and usable in both the manuscript and the supplemental material. If additional data or documentation are needed, please indicate that in your review. Supplemental material and or data files are available via a URL, which is not publicly released but made available to you via the manuscript submission system. Please note that supplemental material may also be available on data repositories as provided by the authors in the Data Availability Statement.
kindly include in your review any opinions or suggestions you may have on the manuscript's writing, structure, composition, scientific accuracy, scholarship, length (shorter is almost always better), and suggestions for ways to improve the paper.
In your comments for the authors, please do not indicate whether you think the manuscript should be accepted or rejected; provide that recommendation only in confidential comments to the Editor. You are an adviser to the Editor, who, based in large part on your opinion of the utility and veracity of the manuscript, will decide whether to accept or reject it for publication in our journal.
If you receive a request to review a manuscript and are unable to complete the review but would like to suggest an Early Career Scientist in your stead, please get in touch with the Associate Editor for approval. Please remember that manuscripts under review are sensitive materials that must be held in the strictest confidence, so they should not be shared without the knowledge of the Associate Editor.
