I have started reviewing other people’s manuscripts – just received another one at the beginning of September. It is very interesting with procedures varying from journal to journal and different deadlines, but it is indeed a lot of work.<\/p>\n
I have now settled into a procedure to make sure not to forget anything: I start with reading the article several times, each time with a different focus (e.g. objectives stated and reviewed, consistency, clarity) making remarks as I go along. I also read some key articles in the field, should I not be 100% familiar with the topic to place the manuscript into the current research context.<\/p>\n
Then it is about structuring and clarifying my remarks, so that the authors can understand them and get my point. Alltogether it takes quite a bit of time (1-2 full days), but it is quite interesting, especially on a plane to Europe, when you are bored ;). The deadline is approaching fast anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
