For Reviewers

Navigation: Resources > For Reviewers

CorayNova's For Reviewers resources are designed for peer reviewers who are invited to evaluate manuscripts submitted to CorayNova journals and to help editors reach fair, evidence-based, and ethically responsible editorial decisions.

This section brings together publisher-level information on the role of peer review, accepting or declining invitations, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, ethical review conduct, AI-related safeguards, respectful reporting, review criteria, reviewer recommendations, ethical concerns, reviewer recognition, and technical or editorial contact routes.

Reviewers support the quality, credibility, and integrity of scholarly publishing. Their assessments should be independent, constructive, specific, confidential, and proportionate. Reviewer recommendations are advisory; final editorial decisions are made by the relevant journal editor or authorized editorial decision-maker through the journal's approved editorial process.
