I have sending my short communication paper to engineering journal. I was asked to suggest 4 reviewer for my manuscript attached. My problem is I don't know how to choose the reviewers as I am still new in this writings and publishing papers. Could anyone please give me the way on how to suggest the best reviewer for the manuscript? Thank you
Dear Khairunnisa, one way to do it is to look at the articles you cited in your references. Usually you will have authors names and emails and other information in the full paper first page. Choose the author you think can review your article and send his/her information to the Journal. You can also search for other journal articles related to your paper which you may not have cited and get the corresponding author details and recommend them as reviewers for your article. You can also recommend any scientists you may have met in your field in a conference or seminar if you have their details. Avoid recommending reviewers from your institution as the editor may think they will be biased in your favour. Recommending reviewers does not mean the editor will necessarily use them as it is the prerogative of the editor to decide who becomes the reviewer.
Dear Khairunnisa,
There may be some experts in the field of your study. It is better to recommend their names as reviewers because they can improve your manuscript a lot. Even if the manuscript is not worth publishing they will let you know with reasons.
