This guide for reviewers contains information regarding basic considerations that should be applied when reviewing a manuscript that has been submitted to the Journal of Magnetics. Peer reviewers will be asked to choose whether an appropriate course of action for the manuscript is “Publication in the present form”, “Publication subject to minor amendments indicated in the report (further review not necessary)”, “The author should be advised to revise the paper for resubmission” or “The paper should be rejected without qualification” Reviewers should also alert the editors of any issues relating to any author misconduct such as plagiarism and unethical behavior. Publication of original articles is dependent primarily on their validity, as judged by peer reviewers and editors.
