peer reviewersAbstract
At this year’s meeting of the Editorial Team and Editorial Board of FormAkademisk, on the last Friday in November, the problem of obtaining peer reviewers to review articles, a problem shared by many other scientific journals, was put on the agenda. It was agreed that when submitting articles, authors are to be encouraged to enter suggestions for at least two peer reviewers, preferably more, in the field Comment to the editor. To avoid doubts about impartiality, peer reviewers cannot have professional or personal ties to the article author(s). Authors are also given the opportunity to name people they think should not be peer reviewers because they may have a conflict of interest. This may apply if an article contains criticism of a theory or other research result that was published by the person(s), for example. However, to make it very clear, it is always the Section Editor(s) who decide who will be peer reviewers of articles submitted to FormAkademisk.
