- Respond to peer review invitations and complete reviews according to requested turnaround times.
- Critically evaluate the validity, completeness, accuracy, and appropriateness of a submission according to journal guidelines.
- Uphold rigorous journal standards by identifying critical flaws and/or unethical research practices.
