Reviewer Consent

All reviewers need to agree that the review of manuscripts in this journal is voluntary. Reviewers are awarded a certificate as reviewers every year as long as the reviewer is still willing to study at least one submitted manuscript. Voluntary reviews are carried out on the basis of a desire to serve the development of science. If a reviewer no longer agrees with this policy, the reviewer may send a resignation email to the journal contact.
