Peer Review of White Paper
Posted: Fri Jun 05, 2020 5:54 pm
I am seeking candidates to conduct a peer review of a White Paper, myself and others are working on. Is anyone interested is performing such a chore? Here is some information on the peer review process as well as what a White Paper is.
A White paper is an article or "paper" that is focused on a particular topic or subject. The paper is reviewed by others to assure that it is vetted and represents the issue at hand. A White Paper can be a source of reference for others. It is considered a more reliable document, as opposed to an article. A White Paper is often referred to by others when seeking information on a particular topic.
In academic publishing, the goal of peer review is to assess the quality of articles for dissemination of, publication in a scholarly journal. Before an article is deemed appropriate to be published in a peer-reviewed journal, it must undergo the following process:
The author of the article must submit it to the journal editor who forwards the article to experts in the field. Because the reviewers specialize in the same scholarly area as the author, they are considered the author’s peers (hence “peer review”).
These impartial reviewers are charged with carefully evaluating the quality of the submitted manuscript.
The peer reviewers check the manuscript for accuracy and assess the validity of the research methodology and procedures.
If appropriate, they suggest revisions. If they find the article lacking in scholarly validity and rigor, they reject it.
Because a peer-reviewed journal will not publish articles that fail to meet the standards established for a given discipline, peer-reviewed articles that are accepted for publication exemplify the best research practices in a field.
Thank you all for your consideration of this request.
