Completing and Submitting Peer Review Feedback
The Journal on Education in Emergencies (JEiE) acknowledges with gratitude the contributions of our anonymous peer reviewers. Their time and attention to JEiE manuscripts directly benefit authors and ensures that JEiE can continue to publish high-quality, open-access scholarly and practitioner work on education in emergencies.
Guidance on the Content of Peer Review Feedback
For reviewers who have agreed to provide peer review feedback, please consider the following questions as you do your review:
For all manuscripts:
- Is the topic within the scope of the journal as described at https://inee.org/journal? If the piece was submitted for consideration in a special issue of the journal, does it fit the theme and scope of the special issue?
- How does the piece contribute to EiE evidence?
- Does the author suggest how the piece may contribute to EiE policy, practice, or future research?
- Is the purpose of the piece clearly established?
- Is there a clear, well-constructed, and sustained central argument?
- Does the piece provide evidence (theoretical, empirical, or practice-based) to substantiate its claims?
- Does the piece reference relevant EiE work and writing?
- Is the writing clear and accessible? Is the structure clear and coherent?
- Does the piece describe how the authors protected the confidentiality and security of vulnerable groups?
Please also consider the following questions below based on the article type of the manuscript you are reviewing. JEiE’s two article types are EiE Research Articles and EiE Field Notes.
You can find the article type of the manuscript you are reviewing in the heading section of the review invitation email you received from JEiE’s PeerTrack system.
For EiE Research Articles:
- Is the research question clearly established?
- Is the piece guided by an appropriate theoretical or conceptual framework? Does the author adequately examine how the conceptual or theoretical framework informed the methodology, data collection, and/or data analysis?
- How well is the piece embedded in an appropriate existing body of literature and theory? How well does the piece identify and advance existing debates? Does the piece use literature and theory to motivate its own argument?
- How robust (systematic, rigorous, etc.) is the methodology? How appropriate are the research methods and the data collection and analysis procedures to the research question? Can the research question be answered with the methodology used?
- Does the piece use primary data? Does the piece present a novel analysis of existing data?
- How original is the analysis? Are the conclusions supported by the data? Does the author discuss potential alternative interpretations of the data? Does the author discuss any potential limitations of the findings?
For EiE Field Notes:
- Does the piece describe a tool, resource, practice, project, program, policy, debate, or approach in use in the EiE field? How innovative, thought-provoking, or useful is it? Does the author examine anecdotal lessons learned: challenges as well as progress, failures as well as successes, etc.?
- Does the piece offer critical reflection, observation, or commentary on the experience of doing EiE fieldwork or research?
- How does the reflection, observation, or commentary contribute to EiE practice or further debate? Is it useful and applicable to the broader field?
Please note: EiE Field Notes should not attempt to answer causal questions, in contrast to research articles which may do so. Field Notes should be descriptive or exploratory. They may describe and discuss anecdotes that illustrate the main points in the piece. If a field note makes a strong causal claim, the claim should be changed; the authors should not attempt to add data to support this claim unless the authors have conducted research that includes a rigorous design that employs systematic methods and analysis, in which case it should be resubmitted as a research article. More information about Field Notes is available here: https://inee.org/journal/guidelines-field-notes.

Guidance on Submitting Peer Review Feedback
Peer reviewers can find a link to download the PDF of the manuscript in the invitation email they received from JEiE’s PeerTrack system: https://www2.cloud.editorialmanager.com/jeie/default2.aspx. PeerTrack is JEiE’s manuscript and peer review management software.
The same email also contains a link to the PeerTrack form for submitting the review. JEiE peer review feedback is composed of three parts: (1) a decision recommendation (i.e., accept, minor revisions, major revisions, or reject), (2) narrative comments to the author, and (3) confidential narrative comments to the manuscript’s Handling Editor. You may save a review in progress and come back to it later.
Peer reviewers are encouraged to keep their login information safe and available for future reference. New peer reviewers whose account was created on their behalf by a member of the JEiE Editorial Office will have received an email from PeerTrack with their username and password. They are encouraged to change their password and complete the rest of their reviewer profile as soon as possible.
All peer reviewers can access their current review assignment by going directly to PeerTrack, entering their username and password, and clicking the button that reads “Reviewer Login.”

Le Journal on Education in Emergencies suit les directives relatives aux conflits d’intérêts suivantes. Ce document directif décrit les pratiques que nos auteurs, éditeurs et relecteurs doivent respecter.
Conflit d'intérêts
Un conflit d'intérêts désigne toute relation existant entre l'(es) auteur(s), le(s) rédacteur(s) ou le(s) relecteur(s) interférant, ou pouvant raisonnablement être perçue comme interférant avec la présentation complète et objective, l'évaluation par les pairs, le processus décisionnel éditorial ou la publication d’un manuscrit soumis au JEiE.
Un conflit d'intérêts peut découler de toute relation bénéficiaire qu'un (des) auteur(s), éditeur(s) ou relecteur(s) pourrait (pourraient) avoir avec un manuscrit. Cette relation peut être
- financière ou non financière ;
- personnelle ou professionnelle ; ou
- individuelle ou organisationnelle (si, par exemple, une note de terrain décrit un programme, une approche ou un outil provenant de l'organisation de l'auteur.).
Un conflit d'intérêts résultant de l'association de l'auteur d'une note de terrain avec une organisation faisant l'objet de cette note ne peut empêcher la prise en compte de la note de terrain si elle est dûment documentée et reconnue.
Obligations des relecteurs
Les relecteurs doivent déclarer, au moment où ils sont invités à réviser le manuscrit, toute relation financière, commerciale, professionnelle ou personnelle ; tout engagement académique ; ou toute affiliation institutionnelle qui pourrait influencer le processus de prise de décision éditorial.
Pour signaler un conflit d'intérêts, le ou les relecteurs doivent contacter le rédacteur en chef par écrit en indiquant clairement le conflit d'intérêts, en expliquant sa (leur) relation avec l'auteur et / ou le manuscrit, et en demandant fermement à être déclaré incompétent en tant que réviseur de cette soumission spécifique.
Lorsqu'un conflit d'intérêts est divulgué au rédacteur en chef, le manuscrit en question doit être ré-affecté à un autre relecteur dans un délai d'une semaine. Lors de la réaffectation, le rédacteur en chef se doit de
- ne pas révéler l'identité du nouveau relecteur au relecteur récusé, et
- de ne pas révéler au nouveau relecteur qu’un conflit d’intérêts est survenu.
Si tous les relecteurs contactés ont un conflit d’intérêt avec un article, le rédacteur en chef doit continuer de rechercher au moins deux relecteurs afin de respecter les exigences de publication du JEiE relatives à la relecture anonyme par des pairs.
Les relecteurs doivent s'assurer que leur travail en collaboration avec le JEiE est conforme à ces directives sur les conflits d'intérêts et à ces normes de bonnes pratiques.
