The SLJIL employs a double-blind peer review process, ensuring that neither authors nor reviewers are aware of each other’s identities.
Review Process:
- Reviewers are expected to evaluate manuscripts critically yet constructively, providing honest, thorough, and objective assessments.
- Comments should be clear, detailed, and constructive, allowing authors to understand and address the issues raised.
- Reviewers should maintain a neutral tone and focus on providing feedback that aids the authors in improving their work. Derogatory or unprofessional remarks are not acceptable.
Confidentiality:
- Reviewers are prohibited from generating review reports using GenAI tools. Manuscripts, including any part of them (text, images, figures, tables), should not be uploaded to any GenAI tools.
- The manuscript must not be shared with third parties under any circumstances.
Conflict of Interest:
- Reviewers are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may arise during the review process.
Timeliness:
- If a reviewer is unable to complete the review within the requested timeframe, the reviewer should notify the editorial team as soon as possible.
Review Process:
- Reviewers should report concerns about plagiarism or unattributed use of others’ work to the editorial team immediately.
