Review form

1. Purpose of the Form

The document below is a sample peer review form used by the editorial board of the journal “Professional Pedagogics” as part of its double‑blind peer‑review process. The form illustrates the evaluation logic and criteria applied by reviewers when assessing submitted manuscripts.

2. Correspondence to the Actual Review Form

All structural elements of this sample — evaluation questions, answer options, comment sections, and editorial recommendation fields — fully correspond to the actual form provided to reviewers during real manuscript evaluation. Only the presentation format has been adapted for this webpage.

3. What the Review Form Includes

The form contains:

• “Yes/No” evaluation questions;
• a field for extensive scientific and methodological comments;
• a block of editorial recommendations (final reviewer decision);
• a confidential comments section available only to the editor;
• interactive elements (radio buttons, text fields).

4. Purpose of Publishing the Sample

Publishing the sample peer review form promotes:

• transparency of the journal’s editorial policy;
• predictability of the peer‑review procedure;
• author awareness of evaluation criteria;
• trust in the journal’s quality assurance processes.
