Analyses, feedback and check on the comments of peer review in editing process
Luo Jin · Bianji xuebao · 2008
Because the comments of peer review have the functions of appraisal and optimization for the manuscripts, and the comments themselves are diversified and related to various fields, therefore the comments should be applied at all the stages of editing. At different stages the applications have different focuses: while determining to accept or reject the manuscripts the comments should be carefully analyzed; in the process of copy editing the comments should be sent back to the authors; at the stage of reviewing on the revised version the authors' responses to the comments should be checked. Through the analyses, feedback and check the comments of peer review can be used to improve the quality of both the papers and the journals. The preconditions for realizing these are to strengthen the editors' academic consciousness and to bring the editors' active roles into full play.
