Journal Reviewers
At university of Isfahan we believe that peer review is the foundation for safeguarding the quality and integrity of scientific and scholarly research. We want to do everything we can to support reviewers (also sometimes known as "referees") and to recognize their contribution. This is why we’ve created these guidelines. They’re part of our broader goal to facilitate the review experience for journals – and help safeguard the integrity of the research we publish.
What is peer review?
Peer review is designed to assess the validity, quality and often the originality of articles for publication. Its ultimate purpose is to maintain the integrity of science by filtering out invalid or poor quality articles.
From a publisher’s perspective, peer review functions as a filter for content, directing better quality articles to better quality journals and so creating journal brands.
Running articles through the process of peer review adds value to them. For this reason publishers need to make sure that peer review is robust.
