The peer review process is a fundamental part of research publishing. It’s a way of ensuring only articles of the highest quality, which describe sound research methods and results, are published. The process involves both the journal editors and independent expert reviewers, who evaluate the submitted articles. Peer reviewers can recommend whether or not they believe an article should be accepted or rejected by the journal. Peer Reviewers are intrinsic to the publication process and upholding this role is a wonderful opportunity to boost your own networks, sharpen your expertise, and contribute immensely to a journal and therapeutic area.

At Taylor & Francis, every journal depends on the hard work of reviewers like you, who test and refine each article before publication. We work to establish and sustain peer review integrity by making sure that you have the right resources to carry out your peer review task efficiently and effectively. Guidelines and trainings are available to support your reviewer journey at Taylor & Francis.

Neuro-Ophthalmology journal is currently looking for interested Peer Reviewers to support the manuscript process. Successful applicants will be expected to (but not limited to):

• Give unbiased consideration to each manuscript submitted. They should judge each on its merits, without regard to race, religion, nationality, gender, seniority, or institutional affiliation of the author(s).
• Declare any conflict of interest before agreeing to review a manuscript. This includes any relationship with the author(s) that may bias their review.
• Keep the peer review process confidential. They must not share information or correspondence about a manuscript with anyone outside of the peer review process without the explicit permission of the editor.
• Not enter unpublished manuscript files, images or information into databases or tools that do not guarantee confidentiality, are accessible by the public and/or may store or use this information for their own purposes (for example, generative AI tools like ChatGPT).
• Prepare their report by themselves, unless they have permission from the journal to involve another person. They must also not impersonate others during the review process. Reviewers must not use artificial intelligence tools to generate manuscript review reports, including LLM based tools like ChatGPT.
• Provide a constructive, comprehensive, evidenced, and appropriately substantial peer review report. Reviewers are responsible for ensuring any references included within their report are accurate and verifiable.
• Avoid making statements in their report which might be interpreted as questioning any person’s reputation.
• Make all reasonable effort to submit their report and recommendation on time. They should inform the editor if this is not possible.
• Call to the journal editor’s attention to any significant similarity between the manuscript under consideration and any published paper or submitted manuscripts of which they are aware.

A journal's peer reviewer requirements will be individual to the publication and may require more specific actions by the reviewer based on the needs of each paper. If you are interested in joining Neuro-Ophthalmology's dedicated group of reviewers, please send in your CV for consideration!
