Peer Review Model

EJBTI operates a double-blind peer review process. All communication and manuscript handling are conducted electronically through the journal’s submission system.

Reviewer Responsibilities

Reviewers are expected to:

• Maintain confidentiality throughout the review process.
• Disclose any potential conflicts of interest.
• Provide fair, objective, and constructive evaluations in a timely manner.
• Follow the COPE Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers.

When reviewing a manuscript, please consider the following:
