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.
