What A Strong Review Looks Like
Strong reviews summarize the manuscript briefly, identify key strengths, and provide prioritized revisions that are feasible for authors to address.
Efficient Reviews

Focus on major issues first, then list minor edits. This structure helps editors prioritize decisions and supports consistent feedback across submissions.
