Information
for Reviewers
The job
of an LCJ reviewer is to provide critical, useful, kind, and constructive
reviews of submissions and to help make papers better, to the benefit of both
the authors and their readers. To that end, reviewers should provide
specific feedback and suggestions and may engage in a dialogue with the
authors. The normal journal review guidelines also apply; namely, make sure
the paper belongs in this journal, is clearly written, is aware of and
cites relevant publications and practices, and follows LCJ formatting
guidelines. Questions and concerns should be directed to the LCJ Editors.
Reviewers will receive manuscripts electronically via email with a 3-week turn-around
period.

questions that reviewers are expected to address are as follows:
