As a reviewer, does the evaluation process have to interest exactly your field of competence?
@Ali Akhaddar. I can't review scientific papers other than in my specialty or frontiers subjects with other specialities where I can have real expertise and pertinence. Maybe if I am only asked to review the methods, the statistics or overall conclusions. But not the scientific value.
It is becoming a real problem especially when journal editors do not find available reviewers (in the scientific field).
Thank you Mahjouba Boutarbouch for your intellectual honesty/sincerity.
No, an inexpert cannot review works which are not of his competence.
Unfortunately its a common case, when it occur with me, am always apologize to the editorial board of the journal and correct my special line of research to them for future assistance...
No I cannot do like this evaluation, because review very important for future studies and as ethical issue should build something true
I agree if it within my interest e.g im a pediatric cardiologist so i can review papers related to cardiology or pediatrics in general
In my opinion good to take the challenge, if of course it is within your interest. Because, firstly, you will get chance to read few topics out of your routine work and get knowledge. Secondly, a good work is the one which any person even out of the area could read and understand the concept well. The specialized person in that area may not catch few of the lacking information which might be cached buy others. Overall, a good review process would be the one which contains both reviewers, specialized and non-specialized one!
I think that articles should be reviwed by specialist person who can precisly evaluate it.
