Requesting submission for review

- Academic Exchange Quarterly adheres to a policy of double-blind peer reviews
of all articles submitted for publication. Hence, identity of the author is hidden
from the reviewer and identity of the reviewer is hidden from the author.
Plus, identity of one reviewer is never revealed to another reviewer.
- To ensure quality of reviews and uniformity among reviewers, the journal
asks each reviewer to make appropriate comments within the body of an
article and to respond to the Rating Table guidelines at the end of each article.

* To make the Copy Editor's work easier, we expect you to pay
attention to:
grammatical errors, sentence construction,
pronoun references, and subject/verb agreement.
- However, while reviewing, if you're feeling frustrated and stressed out, you're probably writing the
paper yourself instead of reviewing!
So beware, and
use your good judgment.
- For sample reviews, see below entry no.4:
unacceptable review and acceptable review.
Failure to adhere to guidelines will be cause for
dismissal (without any prior warning) from the AEQ Editorial Staff.
- Please, offer your rating and comments at the end of the
manuscript in the format as in the above RATING TABLE
Manuscript Reviewing Guidelines
Reviewing manuscripts is an important yet unheralded job. Since all
reviews are "blind," the author will not know
whom to
thank for the time and suggestions offered. The readers and
consumers of published articles will not cite the
reviewer nor
thank him/her when a published article is helpful. In short,
reviewing appears to be a thankless job. However,
reviewers
are intrinsically motivated and rewarded. They accept the importance
of the duty and the significance of evaluating
the
literature that describes our culture and our accomplishments.
-
All work is voluntary. No formal
compensation is given. However, we do offer five
incentive remuneration options.
- You must have PhD or EdD or show other competency...
- See four samples of
Unacceptable Review (no credit given) and Acceptable Review (credit given)
Unacceptable one Acceptable
Unacceptable two Acceptable
Unacceptable three Acceptable
Unacceptable four Acceptable
- No credit will be given for late reviews or one void of Rating Table and/or
author helpful suggestions and comments. For example, the following flat statements,
on its own, are not author helpful
- The paper identifies a problem but does not address solutions adequately.
- I am not sure this paper adds much to the literature.
- Poorly written.
Also, no credit will be given when two other reviewers contradict one reviewer's
flat statement similar to these...
- It is well written.
- A knowledgeable article.
- This paper is an interesting account of the subject.
- I recommend to publish it as it is.
- You are not required to do any review sent to you, requested or
not. Just return it "not interested." However, when you request
yourself and we record on track-your-submission,
authors expect you to complete it within 3 weeks.
- Feature Editor may decide the review outcome when there is a disagreement between two reviewers.
See up-to-date- listing of Feature Editors under
Current & upcoming
- To remain AEQ active Reviewer, you are expected to do at least twelve reviews a year.
- Reviewer identity is confidential and the name of reviewer is never revealed to authors.
Moreover, the reviewer’s name is not listed in the journal unless requested otherwise by the reviewer.
