I.  Unpublished manuscripts are the property of the authors.  The information contained therein must not be used or shared.  If you show this manuscript to anyone while preparing your review, please state who and why in your Confidential Comments for the Editors.  Destroy the manuscript after reviewing.


II.  In the Confidential Comments to Editors ONLY, indicate whether the manuscript should be accepted, rejected, or potentially accepted after revisions are made.  Be as specific as possible in your Confidential Comments to the Editors, and include the rationale for your recommendation. Please indicate if any part of the paper should be elucidated in an editorial; the Editors would appreciate your suggestions of potential editorial writers (including yourself).


III.  In the Comments to Authors, write specific constructive criticisms which, if followed, would improve the manuscript to your satisfaction. Please number your comments to the authors in order to facilitate their response. *Do not give any indication of your recommendation regarding acceptance in the Comments to Authors.**  However, if you are not in favor of acceptance, be sure to tell the authors your specific objections.  Do comment on all of the following (if applicable):

  1. Originality/novelty/importance:  Does this observation address an important question that has not already been answered from the literature? Would this be an important addition to the literature?
  2. Are there any ethical issues regarding conflict of interest, informed consent, IRB approval, possible duplicate publication, etc.?  As required by The Journal, authors must upload in-press submissions and/or prior publications that have overlapping information with the submitted manuscript. Additional manuscripts and/or published articles are included after the current manuscript in the PDF. Please feel free to include comments regarding overlap in your review.
