General Peer Review Information
Generally, manuscripts are sent to two or three referees. The identity of referees is strictly confidential, and you are requested to not communicate directly with the authors. You are also asked to not disclose your identity to the authors or discuss the papers you have reviewed with colleagues until the reviewed paper has been published.
The editor of the journal invites people to serve as the reviewers of a manuscript. If invited, you will receive an e-mail invitation. Log in to the Editorial Manager site at nse.edmgr.com using your username and password or the deep link provided in the e-mail. You will have a chance to review the manuscript's abstract before agreeing or declining to review the manuscript. If you agree, you are requested to read the manuscript and submit a review through Editorial Manager. Common reasons to decline to review a manuscript include if you have a conflict of interest, if it is outside your scope of expertise, or if you are unable to complete the review within the time requested.
Performing the Manuscript Review
When reviewing the submitted contribution, please consider the following list of questions, at least partially, in your review.**
If revision or rejection is indicated, please give detailed, specific, and substantive comments.
*For detailed instructions for reviewing papers in Editorial Manager, please download the Tutorial for Reviewers.
**A referee is not expected to edit a manuscript. However, in addition to your review, we would appreciate information on any editorial/language errors that you may note, or minor changes in wording you may wish to suggest. Please indicate such errors or suggested changes on the manuscript file and upload it along with your review.
***Technical papers present archival, original contributions to the field of knowledge. Technical notes describe preliminary results or limited extensions of previously reported work. Critical reviews combine a focused topical overview with an extensive literature review to critically evaluate the state-of-the-art, but do not necessarily add new knowledge to the field.
Thank you for acting as a referee for our journal and the communities that Nuclear Science and Engineering serves. We rely on the expertise of our reviewers and their reports to maintain the quality of the journal.
