The Ugly Process of Journal Submissions: A Call for Reform.

Borer, Douglas A.

PS: Political Science and Politics, v30 n3 p558-60 Sep 1997

Recounts one professor's discouraging experience with the process of submitting articles for publication in prestigious peer reviewed journals. Notes the wide disparity in comments from the reviewers ranging from corrective and helpful to condescending and dismissive. Detailed responses from the editors appear duplicitous and confusing.
