Refereeing is an essential component of peer-reviewed scientific publishing. It can improve the quality of a paper significantly and contributes to advancing science as a whole, even when the decision to publish is negative.
JFM uses a single-anonymous model of peer review. The author does not know the identity of the reviewers, but the reviewers know the identity of the author. ScholarOne is used for online submission and peer review. For more detailed information please see the sub-pages on Review process and Instructions for peer reviewers. The Editors of JFM and authors all value the work done by referees greatly. Thank you.
