Usually two are enough, and the third one is added if any of the two previous ones raises some serious doubts.

Senad Bećirović

I think 2 peer reviewers are enough but in some special cases third one might be added.

Senad

Subir Bandyopadhyay

Two are enough. The Editor should also have a sound knowledge in the relevant field.

Mohannad H. Al-Sherrawi

Three okay if the final decision based on two.

Azzam Sabah Hameed

Regards, Azzam

M.s.I. Choudhury
