Several criteria are considered when matching reviewers to manuscripts in catalysis:
1. Expertise in the Subject Area: Reviewers must have deep knowledge of the specific type of catalysis being discussed, whether it is heterogeneous catalysis, homogeneous catalysis, or biocatalysis. 2. Publication Record: Reviewers who have published extensively in the relevant area are preferred as they are likely familiar with the latest advances and challenges. 3. Past Review Performance: Editors often consider past review quality and timeliness to ensure reliable assessments. 4. Conflict of Interest: It's essential to avoid reviewers with potential conflicts of interest, such as close collaborators or competitors.
