Frequently asked questions
Can reviewers use AI to review a manuscript?
Many publishers prohibit uploading confidential manuscripts to AI tools, while some allow limited use for language support. Reviewers should follow the journal's policy, protect confidentiality and remain fully responsible for the content of their report.
How do I choose the right journal for my paper?
Match your paper's scope, method and audience to journals that publish similar work, check aims and scope, recent articles, indexing, open access options and turnaround times, and avoid predatory journals by verifying indexing and editorial boards.
