Reviewing allows me to give back to the community and support fellow researchers.Because I want to learn/stay current in my field | Frequently | Reviewing exposes me to cutting-edge research and helps me stay updated with the latest advancements and methodologies.Topic is relevant to my expertise | Frequently | I accept reviews when they align closely with my knowledge and experience, ensuring I can provide meaningful feedback.I personally know the editor asking me to review | Sometimes | While personal connections may influence my decision, I prioritize relevance and contribution over personal relationships.Because I personally know or know of the authors of the paper | Rarely | I strive to maintain impartiality in the review process and generally avoid conflicts of interest. However, if I am familiar with the author’s work (not personally), I might still consider reviewing if I can remain objective..

  I accept a peer review invitation when the manuscript aligns with my expertise, allowing me to provide a meaningful evaluation, and when I have sufficient time to conduct a thorough review. I also consider the scientific relevance and quality of the study, as well as my interest in the topic. Additionally, I see peer reviewing as an opportunity to contribute to the academic community, stay updated on recent research, and engage in constructive scientific discourse.
