General
Considerations
Your assessment is particularly important with regard to
scientific soundness. If you advise the editor that the paper is not acceptable it will not be
published without further review. Your advice on other
aspects is also requested. These aspects are more of a subjective nature. Your point of view should
therefore be justified. Dynamics at the Horsetooth does not request the material to be new.
However,
plagiarism is not allowed and we would like you to make sure that the paper does not contain
extended parts of published materials and that the relevant sources are correctly cited.
Validity
Is the work scientifically correct? If it is not
the case, do you believe the paper can be revised?
Importance
Does the paper contain substantial research or well-presented work (in the form of a
review).
Interest
Is this paper of general interest in nonlinear science? Why do you think this paper should be
published in The Nonlinear Journal?
Appearance
In some cases, the appearance of the paper can be enhanced by proper stylistic revision.
We welcome all suggestions along the following questions:
Is the introduction clear and well-presented?
Does it address the basic issues relevant to the problem?
Is the research properly placed into context (e.g. are the references adequately discussed)?
Is unnecessary jargon avoided?
Are the ideas well exposed?
Are the abstract and title sufficient to understand the content of the paper?
Does the conclusion open the research field to new ideas?
