Is the subject matter within the scope of the journal? Or is it better suited to another journal?
Do the title and abstract accurately describe the contents? Does the abstract include all of the main findings of the study?
Is the review of literature limited to that framing the new knowledge? Are all references pertinent and complete?
Is the methodology sufficiently well explained that someone else knowledgeable about the field could repeat the study?
