General Guidelines for Reviewers
To review a manuscript, you must be registered as a reviewer. All communications regarding manuscripts will be conducted online. Once registered and logged into the system, you will see the list of manuscripts assigned to you. As a reviewer, you should evaluate the overall quality, scientific merit, and presentation of the manuscript.
Please upload your comments as a Word 2007 document using the track changes feature. Ensure you remove your name from the comments before submission. Submit your recommendation through the online system.
The Editor-in-Chief will consider reviewers’ recommendations and forward anonymized comments along with a consensus recommendation to the author(s). The authors will then make the necessary revisions and resubmit the manuscript.
Once the Editor-in-Chief confirms that the manuscript meets the quality standards of Toloo-e-Behdasht Journal, it will be published. A footer stating the volume number and the official name of the journal will be added to each page. The corresponding author will receive an email confirming the publication.
