External Peer Reviewers
TUMI Health Sciences Research operates a double-blind peer-review system supported by independent national and international external reviewers. Reviewers are selected according to their academic qualifications, methodological expertise, research experience, scientific output, knowledge of the manuscript’s subject area, and absence of conflicts of interest.
External reviewers assess manuscripts independently and confidentially, considering their originality, scientific relevance, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, validity of the results, clarity of reporting, and contribution to medicine and the health sciences. Their reports support editorial decisions regarding acceptance, minor revision, major revision, resubmission, or rejection.
Reviewer identities are not disclosed in connection with specific manuscripts. The journal may publish an annual acknowledgment of participating reviewers while preserving the confidentiality and integrity of the peer-review process at all times.
