Abstract
The thoughtful process of peer review allows for the vetting and improvement of scientific work that leads to quality research and, eventually, advancement of the field of retina. Progress in medicine would not occur without dedicated researchers, but just as important are the peer reviewers who take the time assess their work, weigh in on their validity, and help bring these papers to life. Here, we discuss how to effectively review a journal manuscript in a way that helps both the beginning reviewer and the seasoned expert develop a framework to provide meaningful peer review. Although this guide was specifically written with JVRD aims in mind, these suggestions can be broadly applied to the process of manuscript review in general.
