• Other scientists – your peers!

• Experts in the field

Peer review

Who are peer reviewers

Cartoon by Nick D Kim, strange-matter.net


What do reviewers look for?

• Is it likely that the research is correct?

• Do the introduction and discussion fit the data?

• Are the results presented in the manuscript sufficiently novel?

• Is the manuscript of enough interest to readers of the journal?

• Will the manuscript get cited?

Aims and ScopeImpact Factor

Novelty Significance


Please keep in mind that:

The average scientist will publish 2.2 articles every year during his career

The number of submissions needed before an article is accepted: 2.1

72 percent of the articles rejected by the ‘American Journal of Public Health’ (IF 3.8) were subsequently published in other journals.
