Here's our last tip for #PeerReviewWeek: Reviewing isn’t only about being critical. Positive comments matter too! Write what you find exciting about a paper, and how you think it might advance the field. Authors
will be happy to receive the positive feedback, and it helps editors make better decisions too. #PeerReviewTips
#PeerReviewTips: Concerned about maintaining your anonymity during peer review? See the tips in our September Editorial: https://www.cell.com/patterns/fulltext/S2666-3899(24)00211-3 #PeerReviewWeek
#PeerReviewTips: When asking authors to cite additional papers, make sure that your recommendations are relevant and do not improperly promote your own work. Editors do check these recommendations and may take further actions if recommendations seem improper. #PeerReviewWeek
#PeerReviewTips: As a reviewer, you can help promote #openscience! If any code, data or models are missing that you feel are crucial to the paper, write to the journal and offer to submit your report *after* these are made available. #PeerReviewWeek
