Abstract

ZENNER DE POLANIA, Ingeborg. PEER REVIEW: A PERMANENT TRIBULATION FOR EDITORS OF INDEXED JOURNALS. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2014, vol.17, n.2, pp.597-605. ISSN 0123-4226.

Most Colombian and South-American indexed journals do not charge fees for printed pages, having as consequence difficulties to achieve the collaboration of expert and disinterested peer reviewers. In this study the search for reviewers, the problems which arise, the denial of the peers, the non-fulfillment, but also the positive collaboration of national and international professionals is analyzed. Including two and a half years of revision it is shown that, an average of 54.88% of the possible reviewers responds and of them a 77.51% is committed. A recorderis sent to a 31.19% was without response in a 13.17% of the compromised academics. Most peers only fill out the evaluation form; however up to a 53.33% realizes a complex and complete evaluation. Nonnative reviewers are positive collaborators, standing out Brazilian researchers. Between Colombian peers those of the Colombian National University, the ''Universidad del Valle'', the ''Universidad de Antioquia'' and the ''Universidad de Córdoba'' can be distinguished.

Keywords : Manuscript evaluation; serial publications; review; fulfillment.
