For Reviewers

Reviewers are the guardians of scientific quality at Oxton Journals. The platform is designed to make reviewing rigorous, fair and properly recognized — while protecting the double-blind nature of the process at every step.

Invitation and Acceptance

Reviewers are invited by e-mail and through the platform, with access to the manuscript's title, abstract and deadline. Before accepting, every reviewer completes a conflict of interest declaration; the anonymized manuscript is released only after formal acceptance. Invitations may be declined without justification, and prompt replies — even negative — are valued.

Conducting the Review

The structured review form covers originality, methodological quality, clarity of writing and scientific relevance, scored on objective scales, alongside free-text comments to the authors and confidential comments to the editor. Reviewers may attach annotated files (with personal metadata removed) and conclude with a formal recommendation: acceptance, minor or major revision, a new round, or rejection. Constructive, specific and respectful comments are the standard we ask of every report.

Confidentiality

Manuscripts under review are confidential documents. They must not be shared, discussed publicly, used for personal advantage or submitted to artificial intelligence tools. Reviewers must not attempt to identify authors of anonymized manuscripts.

Recognition

Every completed review generates a verifiable peer review certificate, available permanently in the reviewer dashboard, and reviewers build a documented review history on the platform. Researchers interested in joining the reviewer board may register on the portal and indicate their areas of expertise, or write to editorial@oxtonjournals.com.
