Begin with a concise manuscript summary, then list major issues followed by minor comments. Focus on methodological validity, relevance to older populations, and interpretation quality.

Recommendations should be evidence-based and aligned with practical revision paths.

Prioritize high-impact scientific issues, explain why each issue matters, and suggest concrete evidence or analysis needed for resolution.

Effective JIG reviews prioritize study validity, analytical coherence, and translational relevance for aging populations. Reviewers should distinguish major methodological concerns from optional improvements and provide concrete recommendations that authors can implement in a revision cycle.

Comments should remain professional, evidence-based, and aligned with the submitted data. Where limitations are serious, reviewers should explain impact on interpretability and indicate what additional analyses or clarifications would address the concern.

Strong reviews identify which concerns are critical for scientific validity and which are optional improvements. This distinction helps editors make proportional decisions and gives authors a clear path to revision. Prioritized, section-linked comments are more useful than broad, unspecific critique.

Editorial and peer-review roles deliver the greatest value when expertise, communication quality, and response reliability are all strong. Contributors should keep profiles current, provide evidence-based recommendations, and frame feedback in ways that support actionable revision decisions. Consistent service quality improves turnaround times and strengthens trust across authors, editors, and reviewers. JIG uses this collaborative standard to maintain high publication quality in a field where methodological precision and clinical interpretation both matter. Professionals who engage with discipline and clarity not only improve journal outcomes, but also build durable reputation value and long-term leadership opportunities in the research community.
