Additional Context
Reviewers should focus on methodological rigor, ethical compliance, and clarity of conclusions. Constructive comments help authors improve clinical relevance.
When evaluating statistical methods, confirm that models are appropriate for study design and that key assumptions are addressed.
Confidentiality must be maintained throughout review. Do not share content or use findings prior to publication.
Cervical cancer research benefits from clear reporting of population characteristics, including age distribution, screening history, and vaccination status. This context helps readers interpret generalizability and informs policy decisions.
When describing interventions, explain how they align with clinical guidelines or public health recommendations. Contextualizing findings supports translation into care pathways.
Transparent reporting of funding sources and resource constraints helps readers assess feasibility in different settings. This is critical for global health adoption.
Where possible, include discussion of equity impacts and strategies to reduce disparities in screening or treatment access.
High quality visual summaries and clear tables improve uptake by clinicians and program managers. Provide succinct interpretations for key outputs.
Consider including patient engagement or community involvement approaches when they inform program design or trial recruitment.
