Review Guidelines - AMSC24

When reviewing a paper submitted to AMSC24, please adhere to the following guidelines. Use the template provided in the Templates section, where the review scheme and additional instructions can be found.

Your primary goal is to help authors enhance the current manuscript and improve future submissions. Aim to provide constructive feedback rather than discouraging authors, irrespective of your recommendation for acceptance or rejection. Maintain a professional and constructive tone in your feedback, avoiding overly negative wording or personal comments.

Identify the manuscript's major strengths and weaknesses, offering specific suggestions for addressing identified problems. Your report should be comprehensive and readable by both the editor and the author. Begin with a brief summary of the manuscript after the initial reading. Provide a numbered list addressing Major Aspects and Minor Aspects. Discuss major problems first, encompassing issues with the study's method or analysis. Proceed to address minor problems, such as challenging-to-read tables or figures, unclear sections, and suggestions for text removal.

If you find the English language of the manuscript inappropriate for publication, provide specific examples. This ensures authors understand the issues and how to address them. Be as specific as possible about the manuscript's weaknesses, explaining how authors can address them. If the manuscript has line numbers, include page and line numbers relevant to the discussed part of the study.

Reread your commentary to ensure clarity and simplicity in language. Consider that authors and the editor may not be native English speakers. Your feedback plays a crucial role in the improvement of manuscripts and contributes to the overall quality of the conference. Thank you for your dedication to maintaining high academic standards in the review process for AMSC24.
