Your feedback to the author and Editor are key for the author to improve. But know that you too will receive feedback on your review to help you know what parts of your review were best received and how other reviewers have mentored the author.

The Editor provides you feedback on your review. After the paper’s Editor has read the submission and once the reviews are in from you and other reviewers, the Editor will provide each reviewer with brief remarks as feedback.

We send you a copy of the paper’s Decision Letter. The paper’s Editor uses your review and those of other reviewers to compose the paper’s Development Letter.  The Decision Letter includes some generic (templated) verbiage plus the Development Letter.  The Development Letter contains wording specific to improving this submission. For all submissions, regardless of whether the journal will continue toward publication, we send the corresponding author advice on how to improve this submission. You need to know this because we send you as one of the paper’s reviewers a copy of the letter we send the author. We send you a copy to help you better understand how this process works and your contribution to it Typically, you receive this email containing the decision letter 4-6 weeks after you complete your review.

Excellent Reviewers are offered promotion. From time to time, the Editor-in-Chief reviews the performance of all reviewers and offers promotions from Reviewer to Senior Reviewer and Associate Editor.
