Guidelines for Reviewers

As peer-review journal, we perform the quality control for submitted manuscripts by refereeing process. We are very grateful to our Reviewers for their effort and time spent on evaluating manuscripts for Vegetable Crops Research Bulletin (VCRB).

We ask our Referees to:

• comment on originality of presented work, how it presents in most recent literature on a topic discussed,
• evaluate authors' approach to discussed problem,
• evaluate reliability of obtained results and correctness of withdrawn conclu-sions,
• comment on  technical aspects of paper,
• give the final evaluation of paper, inform us whether we should consider it further and what should be done in order to make it publishable.

Specific expectations for Research Papers - manuscripts submitted to VCRB are given in Instructions for Authors.

Review Articles (Survey Papers) - should contain the most significant results of the subject under review. All reviews  should be accurate scientifically, should describe the most relevant and recent contributions, the subject matter should be discussed competently and the choice of citations should be adequate.

Accepted papers will undergo language editing by native English speaker. Incorrect grammar, style or punctuation should not be the reason to reject a paper if its content warrants the publication from the scientific point of view and is readable for the Reviewer.

Please provide your report within specified deadline or inform the Editor if you are not able to do so. You can submit your review either via  email to the Editor. In the specific cases  reports can be returned as a hard copy via mail or fax. Reviewers are kindly requested to deliver reports in 3-4 weeks.
