Topic: Reviewing



  
 Reviewing a Manuscript for Publication
If the reviewer wishes to suggest a different framework and set of assumptions to the authors, this suggestion would be more convincing after the reviewer has demonstrated that he or she has given due consideration to the authors’ original framework, rather than dismissing it outright.
Because a reviewer’s review is, in the same way, a recommendation to an editor, I have come to believe that a summary of the manuscript being considered is no less useful in the reviewer’s review.
Because illustrations are often overlooked in reviews, a detailed comment about an illustration might favorably impress the author and editor, suggesting to them that the reviewer is especially conscientious.

 MISQ Reviewers
Reviewing is also a very helpful way to get into the network of researchers working in your field.
As the reviewing process is, unfortunately, a very slow one, by participating in a review panel you can see work a year or two before it appears in print.
If we considered reviewing as one of the most important things we do (which it is), we could considerably speed up the review process.

 Active Reviewing ~ article by Roger Greenaway
If the quality of the experience is to have maximum impact for learning, then it must be matched by reviewing methods that are capable of dealing with the depth, essence and richness of the original experience.
This paper outlines some active approaches to reviewing that offer a way forward when words are not enough, or when words get in the way.
Most active reviewing is simple, basic and direct.

However, while the submittals are now being reviewed, any go-ahead on a robotic servicing scheme for Hubble is far from assured.
There is growing support for robotic servicing of the Hubble — but whether or not augmenting the telescope with new astronomical gear utilizing robot hardware is possible remains debatable.

Jitendar Canth's review of the 2003 edition refers closely to Chris Cox's review of the 2002 release of the software, so similarly I've referred to Jitendar's views of the software and whether any of his criticisms have been addressed in this new release.

These documents often contain valuable and unique information which is not found elsewhere.
The U.S. Interagency Gray Literature Working Group, 'Gray Information Functional Plan,' 18 January 1995, defines gray literature as 'foreign or domestic open source material that usually is available through specialized channels and may not enter normal channels or systems of publication, distribution, bibliographic control, or acquisition by booksellers or subscription agents.'

 Buddhist Channel Books
New York (USA) -- Perhaps one of the most interesting, paradoxical, and-in Peter Hershock's way of thinking, in Reinventing the Wheel: A Buddhist Response to the Information Age-- predictable aspects of the digital "revolution" is the degree to which information technology becomes less a means to an end and more an end in itself.
New York, USA -- Reviews of reference works are quite challenging.
A volume of critical essays analyzing the motives, assumptions, interpretive devices, and legacies of scholarly paradigms produced by nineteenth- and twentieth-century "pioneering" European scholars has been long overdue in Buddhist studies.

Students are often asked to adopt one of three approaches for a text analysis: a character and relationship study, a description of the principal themes and ideas in a work, or a review.
This information should not be considered complete, up to date, and is not intended to be used in place of a visit, consultation, or advice of a legal, medical, or any other professional.
The term ‘criticism’ is often taken to mean exclusively adverse comment, but in fact it refers to all literary assessment, whether positive or negative.

 People For the American Way - Raising a New Right-Wing Generation: Dinesh D'Souza
Loury, in his review of the book, notes that AEI marketed it extensively in business circles, that "Republican staffers on Capitol Hill are said to have eagerly anticipated how the book might move the affirmative action debate in the 'right direction,'" and that D'Souza was generously supported for the book's duration by the Olin Foundation.
He is also a regular contributor to the Heritage Foundation's Policy Review and was its managing editor from 1985 through 1987.

Even the nation's most influential Sunday book supplement, the New York Times Book Review, killed two pages, resulting in the loss of six "In Brief" write-ups and one full-page review.
The book editor at the time, David Kipen, was shifted to "book critic," responsible for reviewing two books per week, and Oscar got the job of overseeing Sunday's seven book pages, which now fall between "Dining Out" and "Get Together," the personals.
We headed down a dimly lit hallway, past a janitor's office, a storage space with extension cords on the floor and an abandoned copy-machine room, and finally arrived at a stockroom.

Max Ophuls is a highly distinctive name, well known to movie lovers as that of a German-born actor and stage director who, beginning in 1930, directed films in Germany, France, Russia, Italy, the Netherlands, and, after 1946, the United States.
Readers of this review will be spared, as the reviewer was not, the maddening exercise of trying to overlay Rushdie’s Ophuls with the historical one.
Why has Rushdie attached a gaudy celebrity name to a different sort of celebrity, preventing the Ambassador from coming into sharp, living focus on his own?
