"In my reviews, I evaluate papers based on five key criteria:
Clarity of rationale: Are the research questions and hypotheses clearly justified?
Method transparency: Are the procedures and analysis described in sufficient detail for replication?
Clear results: Are findings clearly presented, with a distinction between planned and exploratory results?
Appropriate interpretation: Are interpretations consistent with the study design, avoiding unjustified causal claims?
Acknowledgment of limitations: Are both expected and unexpected limitations thoughtfully discussed?
As an Associate Editor, I commit to:
One-time peer review: Papers will go to reviewers once, with any further revisions handled directly with me.
Structured feedback: Reviewers will follow specific questions, and decisions will be based on the first two reviews.
Timely decisions: I will strictly follow a 30-day review window, stepping in as the second reviewer if necessary."
