For reviewers
Before Accepting
Global Medical Reviews uses double-anonymized external peer review for scholarly articles. Reviewers assess both the main manuscript and relevant supplementary materials. Recommendations are advisory; the handling editor and, where required, the Editor-in-Chief make the final decision.
Accept only when all conditions are met
- The subject and methods fall within your current expertise.
- You can complete the assessment by the due date.
- You can remain objective and independent.
- You have no financial, professional, institutional, supervisory, personal or competitive conflict.
- You can protect all materials as confidential.
Potential conflicts
Do not guess whether a relationship is acceptable. Use I may have a potential conflict — ask the editor and describe the circumstances. The invitation will remain on hold until the editor responds.
Declining
Declining promptly is preferable to accepting an unsuitable assignment. A brief reason helps the Editorial Office identify another reviewer. Suggested reviewers may be provided, but the journal independently checks their suitability.
