Structured checklists help ensure you cover methodology, reporting, and ethics consistently across reviews. They also speed up review completion while maintaining quality.
If you identify a complex statistical issue, flag it for the editor so additional statistical review can be requested.
If you suspect misconduct or data integrity issues, inform the editor directly and provide evidence for your concerns. This protects authors and the journal.
For process questions, contact the editorial office so you can complete the review efficiently.
Consistent reviews help maintain the quality and integrity of JTRR publications.
