A review plays two important roles in the publication process:
- Quality control
- The review should help the editor to make decisions aimed towards preserving the level of quality of the targeted journal (or conference). The review achieves this by providing information about the relevance, originality and validity of the manuscript’s contents.
-
- Constructive criticism
- The review should help the authors to improve their work (upon revision of their paper, for instance) by providing constructive comments and clearly formulated suggestions.
