Confidentiality of peer review

  • Manuscripts sent for review are confidential documents and the property of their authors. Reviewers and editors do not discuss them publicly, do not use unpublished data and do not pass manuscripts to third parties.
  • The identities of authors and reviewers are not disclosed to each other (double-blind peer review). Reviews are not published; the editors may share anonymised comments of one reviewer with other reviewers of the same manuscript.
  • The editors do not disclose any information about a manuscript (its receipt, content, status, reviewers’ comments or decision) to anyone other than the authors and reviewers. Confidentiality may be breached only in the investigation of possible research misconduct.
