Criteria for Article Quality Tracking-Peer-Review

The mission of BPG is to comply with publishing ethics/standards established by the industry and to publish high quality articles. In addition, we strive to make a strict peer-review of each article submitted, and tracking the scientific quality of each is the mission of the editorial board members and/or peer-reviewers.

The following evaluation points are for editorial board members and/or peer-reviewers’ reference only in evaluating an article:

1 Ethics: Does the ethical approval form provided by the author meet the requirements?

2 Methods: Is the experimental method effective? Can it be repeated by fellow researchers (according to adequate textual/citation content presented)?

3 Results: Are the results true and authentic? Is the theory or hypothesis of universal significance validated or partially validated?

4 Figures and tables: Does the author provide perfect tables, line charts and/or graphs? Or, does the author provide figures and tables that are confusing, poorly constructed and/or not well-annotated?

5 Biostatistics: Does the author provide perfect biostatistics data? Or, does the author provide tables and line charts that have mistakes in the data?

6 References: Does the author scientifically and reasonably cite the latest references which are important in this field and related to the scientific problems and research hypotheses addressed in the study? Or, does the author self-cite, omit, mis-cite and/or over-cite references?

7 Language: Does the language in article correctly, clearly and concisely express the information? Or, does the article have multiple grammatical and spelling mistakes?

8 Caveats or drawbacks: What are the caveats or drawbacks for the results?

Comments to Authors
Please make a specific and meaningful evaluation on the objectivity, credibility and scientific quality of the article according to above listed criteria.

Please fill in your detailed comments to authors at below:
This manuscript is well-written and informative, offering adequate textual content and appropriate citation support. The content appears authentic and adequate, and the figures, tables, and references are sufficient and relevant to the topic(narrative mini-review). Nevertheless, several limitations should be addressed to improve the overall quality, as outlined below. 1. Title: The current title does not fully reflect the scope of the manuscript. While the title suggests a focused introduction to vascular complications, the content actually covers a broader range of topics, including diagnosis, treatment, and management of vascular complications in percutaneous biliary interventions. Revising the title to better align with the comprehensive nature of the content (narrative mini-review) is recommended. 2. Abstract: The phrase “for both benign or malignant biliary strictures” should be revised to “for both benign and malignant biliary strictures or obstruction” for greater accuracy and clarity. 3. Abstract and Vascular Complications section: The statement “reduced serum hemoglobin levels” is insufficiently specific. It should be expanded to “reduced hemoglobin levels, reduced blood volume, and/or hypotension” to more comprehensively describe the clinical manifestations.
