For RefereesGuidelines The JVR editors highly recommend to referees to justify either their criticisms or their recognition of the scientific merits of the submitted manuscript. The respect to authors' thought should be maintained. A clear explanation of referee's disagreement with or support to author's statements established in the manuscript, is the better way to express this respect. In general, referees should take into account some relevant aspects as a basic strategy for generating comments in revising papers, for instance: 1) Originality. The basic requirement for the acceptance of a manuscript in order to be published is the presentation of new and original results in any branch of physics, and for JVR, physics envisioned mainly, but not only, under the optics of Vectorial Relativity. Referees should try to recognize results previously obtained, showing the corresponding references in order to avoid plagiarism. 2) Validity. The concepts emitted must obey fundamental principles in physics. Any conceptual weakness within the paper should be revealed as evident and not fulfilling the requirements to be accepted. 3) Consistency. The structure and the mathematical development should be carefully checked, in order to reveal present mistakes, that corrected can produce an error-free manuscript or if not, manuscript could be rejected. 4) Presentation. JVR editors very much appreciate the referees' suggestions including in paper's revision for improvements of the logical sequence of sections in the sense of the progression of thought, in grammar, in the extension of some parts of the explanations, in the correction of typos, in the completeness and correspondence of the references, if it is too concise or not concrete, if it does not accomplish the recommended format of presentation of paper, etc. Report Referees are requested to send their reports within two weeks of receipt. In order to quickly process the information at JVR, the report should be sent by mail as an attached file in MS Word (name of file.doc) in the following format: a) Comments on [Reference code: (mmddyyN) given by editors of JVR] b) Preliminary comments about what the paper is concerned. c) Reasoning of criticisms or recognitions to author's statements or propositions. For this use a clear explanation of your criteria, proofs, demonstrations, measurements, supports, References, etc. d) Recommendations. (Do not put referee's name at the end of report) Mailing Please, submit the report to the following address: VectorialR@aol.com Observe that this address is different to those used by Authors or Users!! Submitted mail should include: A) Reference code (mmddyyN) given by editors of JVR: B) Date of paper's reception from JVR: C) Current date: D) Title of the manuscript: E) Author(s): F) Supplementary comments for editors (if any): G) Referee's name: Follow up Referee's reports are placed by the JVR editors in the file "Evaluation", where authors can read them as pdf files. Also in this same file referees can also read authors' responses in pdf files. At this stage paper is "under consideration". The evaluation process finishes when the editorial board of JVR considers that there are enough elements for taking a final decision, which could be: accepted, rejected or conditionally accepted. In the last case paper is published only when JVR conditions are fulfilled. |
