Ur ett pressmeddelande från Elsevier som visar på stor framsynthet
som skulle gynna forskningen. Även artikelgranskarna har ofta ett
viktigt bidrag att lämna.


Amsterdam, April 2, 2012 -   Elsevier, a world-leading provider of
scientific, technical, and medical information products and services,
has launched a pilot project aimed at improving the quality of peer
review. Review reports for articles in   Agricultural and Forest
Meteorology will be published alongside the article on SciVerse
ScienceDirect. The pilot will last until the end of 2012. If
successful, the initiative will also be applied to other Elsevier
journals.

“Making the reviews visible to all readers of the article will
ultimately lead to higher quality review reports," said Martin Tanke,
Managing Director of STM Journals, Elsevier. “In addition, by openly
publishing the reviews we want to publically acknowledge the
intellectual contribution of the reviewer to the article.”
