Description

Central to the success of any academic journal is the quality of reviews submitted by those who serve as readers. The peer review process is a traditional function for almost all academic research-based publications. In turn, academic journals regularly seek out skilled and knowledgeable readers who can perform critical analyses of scholarly manuscripts in ways that contribute to increased readership and highly sought-after rankings. In many respects, reviewers are perhaps the most important element in academic journal publication success. It is on their watch that the primary and most critical manuscript reviews occur. Thanks to the growing number of online journals today there are more available venues for scholars than ever before. Subsequently, there is a need for more reviewers than ever before. The challenge for editors and authors lies in producing high quality publications that are viewed by peers as having fresh and insightful perspectives on educational problems and that offer readers an entryway into participating in these essentially collaborative professional processes. The role of readers may ultimately represent the most singular and essential component in the success of an academic journal. However, what remains somewhat blurred in the "publish or perish" world of academia are the ways in which readers engage in scholarly critique through the submission of useful and productive reviews. How does this occur? How does the process work? What kinds of skills and knowledge are required of readers interested in contributing to the development of published academic work? What do readers need to know about their role, their perspectives and biases, and the expectations of editors relative to their charge?
