Improving the reliability of manuscript peer review:
• The peer review process is the backbone of scholarly publishing, ensuring the quality and credibility of
research.
• However, concerns over the reliability of this process have been raised in recent years. To address these
challenges and foster more robust and trustworthy reviews, we propose a comprehensive approach to
improving the reliability of manuscript peer review.
• This manuscript in research outlines key strategies to enhance reviewer selection, feedback quality, and
overall review consistency.

9. • To improve reliability, rigorously select reviewers with expertise in the manuscript publishing subject
matter.
• Implement an expert database and engage early-career researchers for fresh perspectives. A standard
training program equips reviewers with best practices and ethical guidelines, promoting review
consistency.
• A structured review template addresses key aspects of the manuscript example, and reviewers should
provide clear rationales and actionable suggestions for improvement.
• A double-blind review process minimizes potential bias and enhances objectivity.
