PEER REVIEWING INSTRUCTIONS FOR PHENOMENA
Introduction
The primary aims of peer review are to decide whether or not an article should be published (based on quality and relevance to the journal), and to improve the article before publication. All submissions first go through an internal peer review process: an assigned editor makes an initial decision to accept or to reject the manuscript (e.g. topic is outside the scope of the Journal, important flaws in scientific validity, etc). If the editor believes the article may be of interest, it is sent out for external peer review. The reviewers are selected by area of expertise (reviewers who grant high quality reviews within the requested time are preferred). The editorial board is frequently consulted. Once reviews are obtained, the editor makes a judgment considering the critiques and recommendations from reviewers, and other factors such as relevance to the Journal’s aims and usefulness to clinicians or researchers.
Peer Reviewer Selection
Reviewers are selected according to their background and experience in some aspect of the subject. The most desirable reviewers identify the strengths and weaknesses of the submitted paper, and analyze it from different viewpoints. The peer reviewers are asked to read and analyze the assigned manuscript and provide a written opinion of its quality, novelty, relevance and suitability for publication in Phenomena. Peer reviewers also make suggestions to assist the authors in improving the article. Reviewers must not only analyze and comment on the paper, but also provide opinions about general concerns such as clarity and quality of the writing, validity Of scientific approach, and whether the article provides new information.
Ethical Guidelines for Journal Peer Reviewers
When a selected individual accepts a peer reviewing assignment, the reviewer implicitly agrees to the ethical standards that are commonly accepted in biomedical publishing. Ethical guidelines for reviewers, authors, and editors are reported by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors in the ‘Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals’ available
Reviewers for Phenomena must agree to:
- Produce as careful and objective a review as possible
- Respect the editor’s deadline.
- Consider with an open mind innovations or approaches different from those of one’s own.
- Provide a balanced critique targeted not only to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the paper, but also to provide useful feedback to the authors to improve their manuscript,
without being overly critical of minor points.
- Avoid scientific misconduct such as the misappropriation of intellectual property. Each
manuscript should be treated as an extremely confidential document. The privacy of the
authors’ ideas must always be guaranteed.
- Direct comments about ethical concerns confidentially to the editors. Contacting an author
with questions about the manuscript is not allowed. All critiques, including the latter, must
be reported in the written critique.
- Declare any conflict of interest (real or perceived) identified to the editor before the end of review. Not every potential conflict necessitates a rejection. Reviewers are encouraged to discuss potential conflicts with the editors if they believe they can provide a fair review.
- Reject an assignment if the following conflicts are present: Financial interests (e.g. paid
consultancies, stock holdings), significant professional or personal relationships or rivalries, antipathy toward study question/approach, political or special interest affiliations (e.g. religious or deep convictions that conflict with the manuscript topic).
Reviewer Guidelines
Potential reviewers are contacted by E-mail, which contains the manuscript title, abstract, and assignment deadline. The selected reviewer accepts or declines the assignment within 7 days. Failure to reply within the prescribed time will be treated as an implicit rejection. It is acceptable to propose an extended deadline when the given deadline (usually 4 weeks from the task acceptance date) cannot be met. The selected reviewers usually have extensive experience as faculty members, researchers, and published authors. Sometimes reviewers from other specific areas are selected.
This selection is always well thought-out, and we encourage such potential reviewers to consider the assignment if they can make a contribution to some aspect of the work. The following points must be provided by the reviewers in the written response:
- General Overview
- Organized Critique
- Assessment of Strengths and Weaknesses: the following should be evaluated: Literature
review is up-to-date; Methods align with study purpose or research questions; Methods
described in sufficient and appropriate detail; Research design or study approach is
adequate; Approach to data analysis is appropriate; Thoughtful consideration given to the
study limitations; Manuscript provides new information that is likely to be of interest to our
readers.
-Possible improvements
-Commonly Overlooked Areas: Reviewers should carefully note: title, abstract, tables and
figures, references.
Editor’s Final Decision
After the peer review process has ended and an adequate number of reviews has been received, the assigned editor makes the final decision about the manuscript (accept, invite a revision, or reject) based on a consideration of all the reviewer comments, general critique, and other external factors (e.g. the article is consistent with the Journal purpose, similar articles recently published, number of accepted articles awaiting publication, potential impact of the article, etc.). Editors may consult with each other when making the decision. A decision summarizing the opinions of editors and reviewers will be sent to the corresponding author.
STATEMENT OF HUMAN AND ANIMAL RIGHTS
All papers submitted to our Journal should declare agreement with the following ‘statement of human and animal rights’. No paper lacking it will be considered for publication. Papers describing procedures involving humans or animals must include an explicit and easily identifiable statement pointing out that the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2000 and 2008. If any doubt exists as to whether the research was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must, in primis, explain the rationale for their approach, and then demonstrate that the institutional ethical committee explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study. When reporting experiments on animals, authors must indicate that the institutional and national guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.
Original research
Gli articoli di ricerca originali riportano di studi primari e non pubblicati e dovrebbero descrivere gli scopi e le ipotesi, i metodi, i risultati e l'interpretazione della ricerca.

La revisione sistematica deve affrontare una questione sostanziale importante nel campo e deve basarsi su solide basi empiriche di studi che sono stati condotti scientificamente. Inoltre, si prega di definire chiaramente la domanda di ricerca in termini di popolazione, interventi, comparatori, risultati e progetti di studio. Per la progettazione e la reportistica, attenersi alle linee guida per la segnalazione nel proprio campo (ad es. PRISMA, Cochrane, Campbell) e indicare quali linee guida di segnalazione sono state utilizzate nello studio. Se applicabile, includi il diagramma di flusso PRISMA come parte della tua presentazione. Includi informazioni sul finanziamento; se non ci sono finanziamenti specifici per svolgere la ricerca, si prega di indicarlo. Gli articoli sono sottoposti a peer-review, hanno un numero massimo di parole pari a 12.000 e possono comprendere fino a 15 tabelle. Gli autori sono tenuti a pagare una tassa (articolo di tipo A) per pubblicare un articolo di revisione sistematico.
