Hi Biella and all! Last week (7 days ago) Gabriella Coleman wrote:
What I don' think we need is some numberical rating system. Why do we need a rating system to engender a review process /journal that takes a different tack toward the paper it accepts? Why can't a conversation/conscioussness about what we expect, what we would like to see not take its place? This is where again a conversation between the reviewers might be the way to do it, even if brief.
I think a rating system is useful for the readers. A (multi-dimensional) rating gives them a quick clue on what they might want to spend their time for reading and what not. This is particularly true if we have a multitude of categories for rating. Each reader then can choose the stuff most appropriate for her. On the other hand I have no problem with publishing the conversation between reviewers and authors. If a reader is interested in this then s/he is of course free to read this. And may even comment if s/he likes. It's all about helping readers sorting out interesting stuff. Of course they are not too stupid to make their own rating. But then they don't need journal responsibles but Google. I think this sort of help is what a journal is good for. Grüße Stefan ______________________________ http://www.oekonux.org/journal
