Reviewer Guidelines
Comments
to Editors: Feel free to be candid/blunt.
These remarks will not be shared with
the author, but will assist the editorial
team during the review process.
Comments
to Author: Reviewers play a mentoring
role for JRLE authors. Write the review
you would like to receive. Provide the
author with suggestions that might improve
the quality of or modify the focus of
a manuscript. Authors appreciate suggestions
for additional literature or interpretive
strategies that might strengthen manuscripts.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO COPY EDIT A MANUSCRIPT;
if grammar, spelling, and syntax errors
are abundant, merely identify editing
as a problem.
Do
not make specific recommendations for
publication to the author. That is the
prerogative of the editorial team and
may only serve to misinform the author.
Address
comments to the author in 3rd person
(e.g. "the author(s) might consider”)
as opposed to personalizing your remarks.
This approach tends to soften critical
comments.
Research
Paradigms: Evaluate the research tradition
chosen by the author using the accepted
standards of rigor within that tradition.
Conflicts
of Interest: PLEASE notify the editorial
team of any potential conflicts of interest
related to an assigned manuscript before
completing a review.
Timeliness:
JRLE reviewers are very busy academics.
If you cannot complete a review within
the assigned timeframe, please notify
the JRLE managing editor so we can make
other arrangements. We appreciate the
commitment reviewers make to JRLE, but
also want to be fair to our submitting
authors by returning manuscript decisions
as quickly as possible.
