Guidelines for Reviewers

  • Timeliness is important: If you cannot meet the deadline given, please contact Gail Feldman, Managing Editor, at amr@mailaom.pace.edu.

  • Please use the PDF copy of the manuscript to complete your review. To access it, click on your "Reviewer Center" link and then click on the "View Details" button. Click on the PDF icon to download a copy of the manuscript. DO NOT USE THE HTML COPY OF THE MANUSCRIPT TO COMPLETE YOUR REVIEW!

  • It is important to recognize that the manuscript is confidential.

  • Comments to authors:
    • Please number your comments.
    • Always be polite.
    • Provide sufficient detail to the author(s) that would justify your recommendation to the Action Editor.
    • Be constructive. If you find a gem of an idea in the rough, suggest how it should be developed.
    • Do not provide an editorial opinion to the author(s). Reviewers often disagree; and, it is the Action Editor's responsibility to render an editorial decision.

  • In evaluating the manuscript and crafting your comments to the author(s), always keep in mind your review captures your scholarly judgment.
