Peer review is a critical component of the scientific process, and serves as a primary guardrail in maintaining the quality of the scientific literature. The peer reviewer is typically tasked with evaluating the quality of a manuscript and providing an assessment of the novelty, significance, and breadth of appeal of the manuscript. However, most reviewer guidelines tacitly assume that both of these tasks can be carried out in tandem, and provide little guidance on how, if at all, deliberation on the former impacts the latter.
