Review Process

Most reviews are completed within two to three weeks. We provide clear guidance, reviewer checklists, and decision criteria to streamline the process. If additional time is needed, the editorial office can adjust deadlines or reassign the manuscript. Transparent communication helps keep authors informed. Your feedback directly supports patient safety and research integrity in epilepsy care.

Onboarding

After registration, reviewers receive an onboarding email with access instructions, scope notes, and sample review reports. We can also match first assignments to your preferred topics to help you get started confidently. The editorial team is available for questions about format, tone, or confidentiality. This support reduces uncertainty and improves review quality from the outset.

Ethics and Confidentiality

All reviewers must keep manuscripts confidential and avoid using unpublished data in their own work. If a conflict arises, notify the editorial office and decline the review. We also remind reviewers to protect patient privacy when commenting on data or case details. Ethical reviews build trust in the journal and the field of epilepsy care.

Workload Matching

We balance invitations across the reviewer pool and respect stated availability to avoid overload. Provide areas of expertise and methods experience so we can match you to appropriate submissions. Declining a review is acceptable and helps us keep turnaround times realistic. Consistent responses allow us to plan reviewer coverage and maintain author confidence in the process.
