REVIEW GUIDELINES

Deciding Whether to Review a Manuscript Conflict of Interest. Reviewers should not accept to review a manuscript if a conflict of interest exists per the AHA Conflict of Interest Policy (reviewer section begins on the bottom of page 4).
Examples of typical conflicts of interest are: strong
The reviewer has an ownership interest in a company that stands to benefit from the results reported in the manuscript.
The reviewer is currently collaborating with the author or has recently collaborated with the author (i.e. within the past 5 years).
The reviewer feels he or she cannot give an impartial and objective review, free from professional or personal bias. 
If you have questions regarding a potential conflict of interest, please contact the handling editor, and he/she will decide whether it is appropriate to review the manuscript.

Peer Review Process:

If you realize that a conflict of interest exists after the review process begins, please notify the handling editor immediately.

Ethical Responsibilities during the Review Process:

Confidentiality: The reviewer should maintain confidentiality about the existence and substance of the manuscript. It is inappropriate to share the manuscript or to discuss it in detail with others before publication. There are some exceptions, if approved by the editor. One example is that the reviewer may ask a colleague to collaborate on a review. However, your collaborator on the review should also agree to maintain confidentiality, and the editor should be informed of the participation of this additional person.
Reviewer Conduct: as stated in the Uniform Requirements (http://www.icmje.org/#peer), “Reviewers must not publicly discuss authors’ work and must not appropriate authors’ ideas before the manuscript is published. Reviewers must not retain the manuscript for their personal use and should destroy copies of manuscripts after submitting their reviews.” Knowledge of the content of confidential manuscripts should not be used for any other purpose unrelated to the reviewing of the manuscript.
Reporting Concerns: The reviewer also has the responsibility of noting any ethical concerns, not limited to but including suspected duplicate publication, fraud, plagiarism, or ethical concerns about the use of animals or humans in the research being reported.

Constructing a Review:

Rating a manuscript - In this section of the review form, the reviewer ranks the Novelty/Originality,
Scientific Importance/Impact,
Adequacy of Methods/Experimental Design,
Quality of Data/Presentation Results, and
Overall Scientific Priority of the manuscript based on the following scale:
Top 10 % = High Priority
Top 20% = Somewhat High Priority
Top 30% = Average Priority
Upper 50% = Somewhat Low Priority
Lower 50% = Low Priority
N/A = Does not apply to this paper

Manuscripts rated in the upper 20% are more likely to be accepted for publication. The reviewer also makes a recommendation for publication.
Indicate whether you have any concerns regarding the statistical analysis used or if there are any ethical considerations.

In confidential comments to the Editor - Summarize your reasons for your rating and recommendations. Provide specific comments regarding the original aspects of the work and its importance.
In comments to the Author - The comments to the author should not include any statements that indicate to the author your judgment as to the acceptability of the paper for publication. All comments should be stated in a constructive and helpful way. The reviewer should discuss the shortcomings and/or strengths of a study. Include in your critique your judgment of originality and scientific importance,

adequacy of the abstract,
introduction, rationale and clarity of hypothesis
adequacy of experimental design and methods,
quality of data and presentation of results, including figures,
appropriateness of the authors’ interpretation of their data,
length and appropriateness of the discussion, and
Inclusion of recent and appropriate references. If possible, make specific recommendations for revisions.

We publish the special issues to draw attention to under-researched or controversial topics or to new emerging themes in international business. The special issues are invited from recognized experts with in the journal scope and to attract articles of the highest quality
The main objective of the special issues is to integrate and analyse current thinking and debates in a focused area of applied research in order to inform the decision-making and policy-making community.
We accept the proposal for special issues on topics that fall within the scope of the journal. Proposals for Special Issues should be submitted by the Lead Guest Editor of the Special Issue
A call for papers must be submitted together with the proposal. The proposal for the special issue must contain the following information:
Guest editors: a short biography of the guest editors with a focus on the expertise of the proposed topic and the involvement in relevant communities 
Deadlines: appropriate schedule stating the major dates including paper submission, acceptance notice, etc.
Topics: the most important topics related the proposed special issue must be listed List of reviewers: a list of the reviewers of the special issue (their names, links to their homepages and areas of expertise). It is mandatory that all related topics of the issue are covered by the group of reviewers
Distribution and promotion: a plan for the distribution and promotion of the issue and to attract quality submissions.
All proposals are subject to approval by the journal following a discussion of the proposed Special Issue among the journal’s Editorial Board. If approved, a Call-for-Papers for the Special Issue will be issued and posted online.
Special Issues are made freely available online to all interested readers leading to the maximum possible dissemination and recognition within the scientific community.

Responsibilities of Guest Editors
The Guest Editor(s) are responsible for the selection, commissioning, editing and provision of the final manuscripts to the Editors will normally be expected to provide a preface/ introduction to the issue
The Journal Editors will communicate directly with authors only in exceptional circumstances and at relevant points of the production process.
Guest Editors will be expected to update the Journal Editors regularly on the progress of the Special Issue and ensure that authors follow the Journal's presentation and referencing guidelines
Editor will be expected to ensure that all authors supply illustrations of an appropriate quality and that authors obtain all necessary copyright permissions. Relevant documentation should be provided with the final version of the Special Issue will be expected to proof-read the entire volume and to ensure that authors proof-read their contributions should provide full contact details, including email addresses, for all contributors

 SPECIAL ISSUE GUIDELINES:

We encourage the submission of proposals for special issues that will be path breaking and exciting for our international readership.

The normal size of special issues is a minimum of 5, maximum of 10 manuscripts (5-7,000 words each, including references).
We strongly encourage a diversity of authorship—especially in terms of country of authors (i.e. not all authors should be from the same country or region).
Conveners of special issues should formally submit a written proposal to any one of the editors that includes a summary of the topic, an argument about its intellectual merits and relation to current debates in social & cultural geography, a complete list of authors (full contact details), titles, abstracts, and a realistic timeline.
The editors will discuss the proposal as a collective. If approved, a single editor will handle all the manuscripts in the special issue (including the convener’s introduction).
Conveners should have their authors submit their individual anonymized manuscripts at roughly the same time (within a few days). Authors (not conveners) should submit to Manuscript Central. In their cover letter, authors should signal that the paper is part of a (named) special issue.
All papers will be refereed in exactly the same way standard We manuscripts are refereed (typically 3 anonymous reviews from around the globe). One editor will handle all the manuscripts. That editor will not be bound to use referees suggested by conveners.
Submitting a manuscript to a special issue does not guarantee acceptance. Papers succeed or fail on their own merits. The Editor’s decision is final.
If an accepted paper has been waiting in the batch-assignment pile for over 9 months, we may need to dissolve the special issue and publish accepted articles as standalone pieces. This is so that successful, timely authors are not penalized by tardy or unsuccessful papers.
Once all of the manuscripts have been accepted, the convener will submit an editorial introduction to the issue. It should not exceed 4,000 words (including references). This introduction normally will not be refereed, but it will be edited by the editor. This must happen quickly to keep things on schedule.
