Peer Review How does peer review typically work

Peer Review How does peer review typically work? • You submit a paper for publication to a specific editor at a journal – You include a list of potential reviewers that have expertise in the area • The editor decides if the paper is worth sending out for review – The paper may get rejected at this point • The editor sends the paper to three scientists for peer review – Typically, they know your name. If they do not, it’s a double-blind process – The reviewers stay anonymous • Reviewers write a full response – Included is a recommendation for publication (or not) • The editor makes a decision – Oftentimes, this is to make minor revisions before publication • You make changes and write a response Created by S.
