All peer‐reviewed journals are absolutely dependent on the quality of the reviews of submitted manuscripts by volunteer reviewers. While editors make an initial assessment of the relevance to readers of a manuscript as well as ensure general writing standards are met, it is the independent reviewers who give detailed feedback about the content, methodology, conclusions and significance to health promotion. Reviewers also give advice to the editors on whether a manuscript should be accepted for publication, revised, or rejected (in their view). Editors then make a decision about the fate of a manuscript and this decision is often, but not always, consistent with the recommendation of reviewers.
