If you leverage AI for ANYTHING check it. And if you do not have the expertise to spot the errors it makes, don’t use it.

If you leverage AI in literature review, CHECK THOSE REFERENCES. I just finished reading through a proposal on a topic that I knew well, and thus was surprised to see several papers referenced that I hadn't known of. Then when I looked them up online, I found they didn't exist. 7 fake references.

A couple more tips for reviewers. If you can't do the review, let the journal editors know as soon as possible (and recommend someone else if appropriate). If you agree to the review, then meet the deadline, or let the editors know if you'll be late.

Some more tips for reviewers. Be specific, if the author hasn't cited the literature, provide some examples of papers they should be citing. Bear in mind the journal's wordcount limits when recommending changes. If you want them to do more, advise on what should be reduced.

Some tips for reviewers... Don't just focus on the bad. What did you like about the paper? Be constructive - what can the author do to improve the paper? Be respectful, even if you didn't like the paper. If the paper is trying to be a square don't reject it because it isn't a circle.
