Communication Between Reviewers and Editors
Acknowledgment of Reviewers on the TODAES Website
The following general guideline can be used when writing a review.
If you have a conflict of interest with a submission, you should not be involved in the decision process for that submission in any capacity, as Reviewer, Associate Editor, or Editor-in-Chief.
If you are asked to participate in the reviewing of a submission and have a conflict of interest, please let the requester know and decline to participate. Most conflicts of interest can be recognized with common sense: Would an outsider who knew that you were involved in the reviewing process reasonably be concerned that you might be biased either for or against the submission because of your relationship to the authors or their research?
There is usually a conflict of interest if the submission concerns work
