Peer-reviewer for IEEE Access

Reviewing for IEEE Access, which the journal describes as a multidisciplinary, online-only, gold fully open access journal presenting original research and development across all IEEE fields of interest. Its published categories include computational intelligence and artificial intelligence, computers and information processing, communications technology, signal processing, and power engineering. The journal states a submission-to-publication time of four to six weeks, so reviews run on a shorter cycle than a typical conference round.

I am reviewing one submitted manuscript, assessing its methods, evidence, and contribution. This is journal review rather than conference review: the recommendation feeds an editorial decision on a single paper on a rolling schedule, not a ranked accept-or-reject batch tied to a programme.
