Reviewers guidelines for manuscript preparation
1. Responsibilities and Ethical Standards
Reviewers play a crucial role in maintaining the scientific quality of AsiaIntervention by providing objective, constructive, and timely evaluations of submitted manuscripts. They must assess the originality, methodology, data interpretation, and overall contribution to the field of cardiovascular interventions. Reviews should be fair, evidence-based, and aimed at improving the manuscript rather than personal criticism of the author.
All reviewers must adhere to ethical peer review standards, following the COPE Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers (COPE Guidelines). Manuscripts should be treated as confidential documents and should not be shared or discussed outside the review process. Reviewers must also decline invitations if they identify a conflict of interest, such as a personal, financial, or institutional connection with the authors or the research.
2. Peer Review Process and Timeline
AsiaIntervention uses the Editorial Manager submission platform for its peer review process. Reviewers are expected to provide detailed and constructive feedback within the platform, ensuring clarity and helpful suggestions for authors. The journal operates on a two-week review deadline, and reviewers who anticipate delays should notify the editorial office as soon as possible to maintain efficiency in the publication process.
Decisions should be made based on scientific merit and ethical integrity, and reviews must remain free from bias or external influence. The journal’s editorial team ensures that all reviews contribute meaningfully to the evaluation and improvement of submitted manuscripts.
3. Recognition and Contact Information
AsiaIntervention values the contributions of its reviewers and acknowledges their efforts through certificates of recognition and an annual public acknowledgment in the journal. Consistently engaged reviewers may also be considered for future editorial roles.
