In Journal of Dental Research, Dental Clinics, Dental Prospects, we want from our reviewers to put emphasize on the following:
- Importance of the study with respect to new information or valuable confirmation
- Design and quality of data
- Methodology
- Adequate discussion and conclusion
In your comments "For author and editor", we would like you to start with some general aspects and a short summary of your comments on the paper. You should not give recommendations on rejection or acceptance here, leave that to the "For editor" section, which is treated confidentially. Then give Major comments on the Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion & Conclusion. Finally, give Minor comments, on different parts of the manuscripts, for which you may use the submission review checklist (download PDF - 99 KB).
The editorial board kindly asks the reviewers of the journal to consider the editorial workflow time constraints and turn in their comments at their earliest possible.
