摘要

Peer review remains a cornerstone of scientific publishing, ensuring the integrity, rigor, and relevance of the biomedical literature. However, structured training in peer review is rarely provided, particularly for early-career clinicians and researchers who are increasingly invited to contribute. This article presents ten practical considerations aimed at supporting first-time reviewers in delivering high-quality, fair, and constructive evaluations. These include selecting appropriate review invitations, recognising the importance of mentorship, minimising bias, and maintaining ethical standards. By combining experiential insights with established principles, this guide seeks to demystify the peer-review process and promote best practices among emerging reviewers.
