Instructions to the reviewers

Please rate the paper according to the criteria indicated on the evaluation page, paying attention to the sub-criteria; then give an overall score for the paper.

At the end of the evaluation, please provide detailed comments to help the editorial committee make the final decision. These comments are particularly important during the first round of reviews as they will help authors to improve the quality of their article for a possible second round.

Avoid mentioning anything in the comments that would lead the author(s) to believe that your recommendation to reject or accept the article will be followed by the editorial board since the final decision depends on various factors, particularly other reviews.

In the case of a second review, do not delete your first comments; add your new comments after a separation line.

If you should have any conflict of interest, please let us know as soon as possible.

The policy of the journal is double-blind reviewing: the identity of the reviewers is not transmitted to the authors. We ask you not to distribute the article during this evaluation phase and not to mention your quality as a reviewer in any context whatsoever.

Thank you!
