Editorial Responsibilities

Editors and Associate Editors support JBRES by coordinating peer review, ensuring ethical publishing practices, and maintaining a constructive communication environment for authors and reviewers.

Core Responsibilities

  • Assess scope & suitability: decide whether the manuscript fits JBRES and meets baseline quality.
  • Assign peer reviewers: recommend or select at least three reviewers when appropriate.
  • Ensure fairness & quality: guide authors with clear, constructive, and timely feedback.
  • Maintain confidentiality: protect author data, reviewer identity, and unpublished content.
  • Quality checkpoint: confirm revisions address reviewer comments and improve clarity and rigor.
  • Timelines: support completion of peer review within the journal’s target timeline (e.g., ~10 days where feasible).

Ethics & Professional Standards

  • Originality: promote publication of original work and flag plagiarism or duplication concerns.
  • Conflict of interest: declare conflicts and avoid handling manuscripts with potential bias.
  • Unbiased decisions: evaluate only on scientific merit—no discrimination by gender, nationality, beliefs, or background.
  • Human/animal research: ensure authors report ethics approvals and informed consent where applicable.
  • Communication: keep steady contact with the editorial office to avoid delays and confusion.
If you are unavailable: kindly inform the editorial office early so the manuscript can be reassigned to an editor with similar research interest.
