Resumen
Welcome to the first issue of IJMEST in 2024.
This is a different style of Editorial from my previous ones, and is focused on the peer-review process in IJMEST, with some suggestions about how this might be conducted as effectively as possible. I am very grateful to the Associate Editors and other members of our Editorial Board for commenting on a draft version of this, but the final version is my responsibility.
It can never be said too often that our peer reviewers carry out an absolutely critical role within the journal in generously offering their expertise to comment on the submissions that we receive. It is a truism to say that a peer-reviewed journal cannot exist without peer review. In this Editorial, I want to offer some suggestions about how the process of peer review might be carried out as helpfully and as painlessly as possible for everyone concerned. I hope that this will be of interest not only in supporting reviewers in the work that they do – and hopefully saving them some time – but also to authors by improving transparency over what reviewers are likely to be looking for in the articles that are submitted.
