FD Society of Nuclear Medicine SP 92 OP 99 VO 34 IS 2 A1 James M. Provenzale A1 Robert J. Stanley YR 2006 UL http://tech.snmjournals.org/content/34/2/92.abstract AB OBJECTIVE. In this article, we provide a step-by-step guide to reviewing a manuscript that we hope will improve the quality of reviews for the AJR. CONCLUSION. We have provided a detailed series of guidelines for providing excellent reviews of manuscripts. The template we have provided can be used to serve as a checklist for important questions to ask about manuscripts during the review process. Finally, the principles presented here also can be used as a guide for authors by providing a list of important features to include during manuscript preparation and thereby prospectively address questions that good reviewers are likely to ask.
