  • Supervised doctoral work of the author(s) or being supervised by the author(s)
  • Received professional or personal benefit resulting from the review
  • Have a personal relationship (e.g., family, close friend) with the author(s)
  • Have a direct or indirect financial interest in the paper being reviewed
