Two more comments on peer review:<BR/><BR/>1) My ideal moderation / ranking system would rate not just technical accuracy, but how readable it is, how innovative, and so on.<BR/><BR/>2) There is a lot of subjective preference in evaluating "good" papers. I think it would be nice if the ranking was based on Christophe de Dinechinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212549796119667462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-1154759920640946812006-08-05T02:38:00.000-04:002006-08-05T02:38:00.000-04:00Hi Bee, Nice post.

Giving a financial incentive and making the reviewer 'known' (through acknowledgments or with a separate tag) to the readers, certainly would help improve peer-review standards. <BR/><BR/>Hi Stefan and Carlos:<BR/><BR/>A related post of mine on <A HREF="http://www.arunn.net/scienceblog/2006/07/01/the-queer-peer-review-2/" REL="Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-1144178390634570122006-04-04T15:19:00.000-04:002006-04-04T15:19:00.000-04:00Dear Bee, dear Carlos,thank you - I got your point...Dear Bee, dear Carlos,<BR/><BR/>thank you - I got your point.

I usually submit to IJMPA or MPLA, but the whole process takes, at least, a year, and the referee answers in about 4 moths.<BR/><BR/>It is very sad Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-1143679478127200952006-03-29T19:44:00.000-05:002006-03-29T19:44:00.000-05:00Stefan, excuse me for saying that but it also depe...Stefan, excuse me for saying that but it also depends on whether your name (or the name of your advisors, or the institution you are from) are known in the community. <BR/><BR/>Which it a) shouldn't and b) is probably the reason why you have mostly positive experience. <BR/><BR/>Go try to submit a paper as Imanuel Gohol Sanawajaran from eastern Iran to Nucl Phys B, with an email address at Sabine Hossenfelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151209308084588985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-1143671267774312102006-03-29T17:27:00.000-05:002006-03-29T17:27:00.000-05:00Dear Bee,thank you for sharing your thoughts - tha...Dear Bee,<BR/><BR/><BR/>thank you for sharing your thoughts - that are really very interesting points and ideas. Let me add some remarks, from my point of view, which is more from the side of obtaining and dealing with the referees' remarks and criticisms of my (not so many)submitted papers. I have found the referees' comments usually quite helpful to sharpen the points I would like to make and stefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09495628046446378453noreply@blogger.com
