Sentences with phrase «journal reviewers assign»

Not exact matches

In 2012, the Elsevier journal Optics & Laser Technology retracted 11 papers after an unknown party gained access to an editor's account and assigned papers to fake reviewer accounts.

The journal editor assigns the manuscript review to two or three reviewers (other scientists who should have the technical expertise to judge the work) and the reviewers try to pick apart the arguments that the authors are trying to put forward and give a judgment as to whether the article is publishable or not (or could be improved to make it publishable).

Editors for these journals may not know of suitable reviewers and may assign reviewers who are not peers within the same scientific field and who do not have the background knowledge needed to carry out a proper review.
