'Evaluating a manuscript is a demanding job that requires the peer reviewer to value the work done by the researchers while providing constructive feedback. I try to give useful, specific advice. Peer reviewing is a big responsibility that is important for the advancement of science. It is a learning process that is done mainly through experience. The learning curve takes time and can be tough. The feedback received on your own manuscripts is formative.'
