Reviewer Guidelines

Reviewers play an essential role in maintaining the quality and integrity of JSP. Reviewers are asked to evaluate manuscripts fairly, confidentially, constructively, and within the agreed deadline. A good review helps the editor make a decision and helps the author improve the manuscript.

Before accepting a review invitation, reviewers should confirm that they have relevant expertise, enough time, and no conflict of interest. Reviewers should decline if they have recently collaborated with the author, work at the same institution, have a personal relationship or rivalry, have financial or professional interests connected to the manuscript, or cannot provide an impartial review.

Reviewers should not share the manuscript, quote from it, use its ideas, or upload it to external AI tools or online services. All reviewer comments should be respectful and focused on the manuscript, not the author.
