Reviewers

• Make sure you separate your comments on the case from those on the teaching notes (two distinct sections);
• Begin by highlighting the strengths or positive aspects of the case or teaching notes. What did you like?
• There is no need to summarize the case at the beginning of your report;
• Try to be constructive in your criticism, notably by proposing possible options or solutions to the problems or weaknesses observed;
• Avoid steering the case away from the teaching objectives established by the authors;
• Adopt a respectful and polite tone;
• Be coherent: your detailed comments to the authors should be consistent with your general recommendation to the editor. For example, if you point out one or two weaknesses to the authors, but you recommend rejection of the case to the editor, then you are not being coherent. The same is true if you report major problems in the case or teaching notes in your detailed report, but your recommendation to the editor is “Accept without revision”;
• Make sure that the authors cannot identify you when reading your report.
