Journal reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on several criteria to ensure the quality and relevance of the publication. They check if the references are relevant and up-to-date (A) to ensure the research is built upon current knowledge. The clarity and practicality of clinical implications (C) are crucial for readers to understand how the findings can be applied in practice. Reviewers also assess whether there is evidence supporting the conclusions or recommendations (D) to ensure the research findings are robust and reliable. Finally, the description of research methods (E) must be clear and adequate for the study to be replicable and for its methodology to be scrutinized. The expository writing style (B) is less about consistency and more about clarity, coherence, and appropriateness for the audience, which is not explicitly mentioned as a common criterion for journal review.
