During peer review, an invited reviewers is suggested to finish reading all of a manuscript from its title to supplimentary materials, so that the comments made will not embarrass the authors who have spent so much time writing. But in my own opinion, the reviewers should do more than just 'read through' so that the comments made by him/her will less likely to miss out information and embarrass the authors. Reviewers may read the article multiple times to be familiar with the contents, and make objective and detailed comments as possible. What are your opinions?
Ran Dai It depends on the reviewer's opinion. I believe the reviewer should keep in mind that the manuscript under review is intended to be a masterpiece upon which future readers will rely. Therefore, the comments provided to the author should be precise. It is not about embarrassing the author but rather assessing how well they presented or can present their work.
