Reviewer Guidelines

At Epic Globe Publisher, peer reviewers play a critical role in maintaining the integrity, quality, and credibility of the scholarly publishing process. We deeply value the time, expertise, and commitment our reviewers dedicate to evaluating submitted manuscripts. The purpose of peer review is to offer an objective and constructive assessment that determines whether a manuscript contributes meaningfully to its field.

General Expectations
As a reviewer, you are expected to:
Provide a fair, balanced, and timely review.
Maintain confidentiality and avoid any conflict of interest.
Deliver detailed, constructive, and evidence-based comments.

Review Criteria
We kindly request reviewers to consider the following aspects while evaluating a manuscript:
1. Relevance to the Journal
Assess whether the manuscript aligns with the aims and scope of the journal.
2. Originality and Novelty
Evaluate the uniqueness of the study and whether it introduces new insights or advances in the field.
3. Literature and Citations
Ensure appropriate and up-to-date literature is cited and discussed in the context of the study.
4. Methodology Verify that the study design and methods are sound, clearly described, and suitable for addressing the research objectives.
5. Results and Interpretation
Determine whether the results are clearly presented and the conclusions are justified by the data.
6. Statistical Analysis
Confirm the use of appropriate statistical methods and the validity of the interpretation of data.
7. Clarity and Readability
Assess whether the manuscript is coherent and understandable, even if minor language issues are present.
8. Language and Presentation
Highlight any grammatical, punctuation, or spelling errors. Ensure scientific notations, equations, superscripts, subscripts, figures, tables, and references are accurate and correctly formatted. 

Peer Review Process
Epic Globe Publisher follows a double-blind peer review process, in which both the authors' and reviewers' identities are kept anonymous. This helps eliminate bias and ensures the manuscript is judged solely on its merit, not on the author’s reputation or affiliations.

Reviewer Recommendations
At the end of your evaluation, please provide a clear recommendation using one of the following categories:
1. Accept
The manuscript is of high quality, clearly written, well-supported by results, and makes a significant contribution to the field.
2. Minor or Major Revision
The manuscript has merit but requires revisions to improve clarity, strengthen methodology, refine results, address English grammar or formatting issues, or enhance the discussion. Please specify whether the revision should be classified as minor or major.
3. Reject
The manuscript contains fundamental flaws in methodology, reasoning, or presentation; or it lacks originality and fails to contribute to the scientific literature.

Final Note
Only a small number of manuscripts are withdrawn before a decision is reached. Most submissions are either revised or formally accepted/rejected based on reviewer feedback. Your detailed evaluation not only guides editorial decisions but also helps authors improve their work.
We sincerely appreciate your support in maintaining the excellence of Epic Globe Publisher journals. Your review helps uphold the values of academic integrity, transparency, and scholarly advancement.
