The dissemination of discipline-focused educational scholarship advances theory and stimulates pedagogical application. The aim of is to publish manuscripts that advance knowledge and inform educators in the field. This primer is tailored for individuals new to manuscript reviewing, early in their careers, or experienced in reviewing research but not educational manuscripts. Peer reviewing for basic and applied science is akin to evaluating research questions and rigor in teaching and learning studies, with differences in approach and analysis similar to those between biophysics and molecular physiology or cell and integrated physiology. Our purpose is to provide an overview of the review process and expectations. The submission and peer review process involves several steps: authors submit a manuscript and the Editor assigns an Associate Editor, who then assigns peer Reviewers. Reviewers are contacted via email and can accept or decline the invitation. Reviewers evaluate the work's strengths and weaknesses and then independently submit comments and recommendations to the Associate Editor. After review, the Associate Editor collects and weighs Reviewers' comments, sometimes garners additional reviews and input, to make a recommendation to the Editor. The Editor reviews the process, comments, and recommendations to render a final decision. Both authors and Reviewers receive an email with the decision. The editorial staff assists with communication and helps track the overall process. Peer review is integral to scientific publishing, ensuring quality and rigor, and reviewing is both a privilege and a responsibility of all in the scientific community. This mini-review offers a comprehensive and current overview of the peer review process and the qualifications required to serve as a journal reviewer for . The guidelines are specifically designed for early career professionals new to manuscript reviewing, as well as seasoned research manuscript reviewers who are new to educational manuscript evaluation. Peer review is a cornerstone of scientific publishing, ensuring both quality and rigor. It is both a privilege and a responsibility for all members of the scientific community.
学科聚焦教育学术文献的传播推进了理论发展并激发了教学应用。本刊旨在发表能增进知识并为领域内教育工作者提供信息的文稿。本指南专为刚接触稿件评审、职业生涯早期或虽有评审研究但无评审教育文稿经验的个人量身定制。基础科学和应用科学的同行评审类似于评估教学和学习研究中的研究问题和严谨性，其方法和分析存在差异，类似于生物物理学和分子生理学或细胞和综合生理学之间的差异。我们的目的是概述评审流程和期望。提交和同行评审过程涉及多个步骤：作者提交稿件，编辑指定副编辑，副编辑再指定同行评审员。评审员通过电子邮件联系，可以接受或拒绝邀请。评审员评估工作的优缺点，然后独立向副编辑提交评论和建议。评审后，副编辑收集和权衡评审员的意见，有时会征求额外的评审和意见，然后向编辑提出建议。编辑审查流程、评论和建议，做出最终决定。作者和评审员都会收到一封带有决定的电子邮件。编辑人员协助沟通并帮助跟踪整个流程。同行评审是科学出版的重要组成部分，可确保质量和严谨性，并且是科学界所有成员的一项特权和责任。本迷你综述全面介绍了同行评审流程和担任本刊评审员所需的资格。指南专门为刚接触稿件评审的初出茅庐的职业专业人员以及刚接触教育稿件评估的经验丰富的研究稿件评审员而设计。同行评审是科学出版的基石，可确保质量和严谨性。这是科学界所有成员的一项特权和责任。
