Submit a Peer Review

Thank you for your your agreement to review manuscripts submitted to the AILACTE Journal!

Editors ask you to upload a blinded Word document of the manuscript with tracked changes and in-text comments reflecting your suggested edits. The manuscript you receive should have Track Changes already enabled, so all edits, deletions, and insertions made will be recorded automatically and visibly marked. Text edits (e.g., corrections, rewording) will appear in a different color, with additions underlined and deletions struck through. Comments added will appear in the right-hand margin, linked to specific sections of the text; these should be constructive and professional, praising strong aspects of the manuscript while addressing areas needing improvement. Reviewer changes are logged, allowing editors to compile and manage feedback efficiently before anonymously sharing with the authors. All comments will be anonymized before being shared with the authors.
