What Does a Reviewer Do? 

Manuscripts submitted to the PDA JPST are routinely vetted by subject matter experts through a single-blind peer review process. This ensures that articles are scientifically rigorous and meet the high standards of this publication. Reviewers examine a submission to determine if the research methodology is sound, the data is valid, and the conclusions are reasonable and supported by the information provided. Reviewers determine the timeliness and relevance of the material, provide feedback to the author based on their own expertise and experience, and question any areas of the content that may need clarification or elaboration.
