The Journal of Insect Biology and Applied Entomology (JIBAE) uses a structured Peer Review Form to ensure that every submitted manuscript is evaluated fairly, objectively and consistently.
The review form helps reviewers assess the scientific quality, originality, methodology, ethical compliance, clarity and overall contribution of each manuscript submitted to the journal.
The Peer Review Form serves as a standardized assessment tool for reviewers. It ensures consistency in the peer review process and helps the Editorial Board make informed decisions based on expert evaluation.
The form also supports authors by providing constructive feedback that can help improve the quality, clarity and scientific value of their manuscript.
Assessment of the novelty, innovation and scientific contribution of the research.
Evaluation of research design, methodology, analysis and interpretation of results.
Determination of whether the manuscript fits the scope of insect biology and applied entomology.
Assessment of language, structure, clarity, figures, tables and overall organization.
After completing the review, reviewers are requested to provide one of the following recommendations:
Reviewers are expected to provide objective, constructive and confidential evaluations. Reviews should focus on scientific merit, technical quality, originality, ethical standards and relevance to the journal’s scope.
Personal criticism of authors is inappropriate and should be avoided. Comments should be clear, respectful and useful for improving the manuscript.
All information contained in submitted manuscripts and review documents must remain strictly confidential. Reviewers must not share, copy, reproduce or discuss manuscript content outside the editorial process.
Reviewers should decline to review any manuscript where a personal, professional, financial or institutional conflict of interest may influence their judgment. Any potential conflict should be reported to the Editorial Office immediately.
The completed Peer Review Form assists the Editorial Board in reaching a fair, transparent and scientifically justified publication decision. Editorial decisions are based on reviewer comments, scientific merit, ethical compliance and the overall quality of the manuscript.
JIBAE is committed to maintaining a rigorous, transparent and ethical peer review system. The Peer Review Form supports consistency, fairness and scientific excellence in manuscript evaluation.
