Ethical Guideline for Reviewers

Reviewers should maintain the confidentiality of peer review and not reveal any details of a manuscript or its review, during or after the peer-review process, after those that are published by JMIS.
Reviewers should declare all potential conflicting interests, seeking advice from JMIS if they are unsure whether something constitutes a relevant interest.
Reviewers should not use information obtained during the peer-review process for their own or any other person’s or organization’s advantage.
Reviewers should not allow their reviews to be influenced by the origins of a manuscript, by the nationality, religious or political beliefs, gender or other characteristics of the authors, or by commercial considerations.
Reviewers should only agree to review manuscripts for which they have the subject expertise required to carry out a proper assessment and which they can assess in a timely manner. Reviewers should inform JMIS if they cannot respond in a time-frame according to JMIS policy.
Reviewers should inform JMIS if they cannot provide a fair and unbiased review after accepting review.
