For Reviewers

Guide for Reviewers:

Reviewers play a pivotal role in maintaining the quality of publications in the Journal of Minimax Theory and its Applications. The following guidelines should be observed:

  • Confidentiality: Reviewers must treat the manuscript as a confidential document and must not discuss its content with others or disclose information.
  • Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the authors is inappropriate.
  • Timeliness: Reviewers should submit their reports in a timely manner. If a reviewer feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript, they should notify the editor and excuse themselves from the review process.
  • Acknowledgment of Sources: Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors.
  • Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: Reviewers should not review manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
