Abstract: Peer review is the cornerstone of scientific publishing. Diversity of perspectives is an integral part of a successful vetting process. The editor, associate editors, and reviewers who examine each manuscript are the authors' peers: persons with comparable standing in the same research field as the authors themselves. Peer review contributes to improving the quality of a published paper, ensures previous work is properly acknowledged, highlights the importance and novelty of the findings, detects plagiarism and fraud, and promotes academic career development. Reviewers help by providing a comprehensive analysis of the abstract, introduction and background, methodology, results and discussion, conclusion, references, tables and figures. Good reviewers provide a detailed and timely report supporting statements regarding whether the research is original, novel, and important to the field of biomedical ultrasound. Reviewers provide a clear recommendation whether the paper should be accepted for publication, requires minor or major modifications, or rejected altogether with no opportunity to revise. Tips for navigating the peer review system, responding to critiques, and revising manuscripts for resubmission will be discussed.
