What is the ethical way to give reviewers names during submission of a manuscript in peer-reviewed journals?
we have to follow the journal’s guidelines for suggesting experts for our manuscript..
But Some journals do provide a list of requests for author suggestions, and if this happens ,we have t follow the ethical ways as follow:
DO explore the research field to find scholars who might want to review your work.
DO give a diverse list of reviewers from different institutions, in different related fields, and with different points of view.
DO ensure that your recommendations are experts in your field.
DO take your time and be thorough when you make suggestions. Your reference list can be a starting point.
DON’T suggest experts whom you know personally.
DON’T list potential reviewers who work for your target journal.
DON’T suggest reviewers because they will agree with your work.
DON’T suggest reviewers who work at the same institution as you do.
DON’T have all the reviewers from the same country. It is important to have a global perspective.

Provision of mentioning the choice of Reviewers perhaps assist the Editor-in-Chief or the Subject Editor to select the appropriate assessors & to respect the Author(s)' requests as well. But, I think they are not bound to that exactly.

Rizk Elazhary Thank you for your detailed answer. I agree with your point of view
I wanted to submit a paper for peer review online. I realised the journal requested me to submit the names of people i want to review the paper. I was flabbergasted. I declined to submit the paper.
