Peer review stands as a cornerstone of academic publishing, especially in the era of evidence-based neurosurgery - the scientific literature relies on proficient peer reviewers. Providing a constructive peer review is an art and learned skill that requires knowledge of study design and expertise in the neurosurgical subspeciality. Peer reviewers guard against arbitrary decision-making and are essential in ensuring that published manuscripts are of the highest quality. However, there remains a scarcity in the formal training relating to the peer review process. The objective of this article is therefore to shed light on this process through the lens of the Editorial Board. We encourage our invited peer reviewers to make use of this guide when appraising potential manuscripts.
同行评审是学术出版的基石，尤其是在循证神经外科学时代——科学文献依赖于熟练的同行评审员。提供建设性的同行评审是一门艺术和学习技能，需要了解研究设计和神经外科学亚专业知识。同行评审员防止任意决策，对于确保已发表手稿的高质量至关重要。然而，与同行评审过程相关的正式培训仍然稀缺。因此，本文的目的是通过编辑委员会的视角来阐明这一过程。我们鼓励我们邀请的同行评审员在评估潜在稿件时使用本指南。
