What impact does language quality have on the peer review process?
Once a paper enters the peer review process, it will be evaluated by both reviewers and editors on its scientific content and merit. The responsibility to provide a paper written in a reasonable standard of English, and structured in adherence to the Guide for Authors, lies with the author. Editors and reviewers are not responsible for making language corrections. Well-structured papers with correct language usage help ensure that the peer review process runs smoothly by allowing editors and reviewers to focus on scientific merit, and could result in the faster publication of research.
