Observations on “Anatomy of an R&R” and Other Reflections
作者回顾了作为行动编辑处理一篇投稿至《管理学会期刊》论文的经历,描述了评审意见分歧、修订过程中的挑战,并建议作者管理情绪、理解编辑视角。
The author recounts her experience serving as action editor for a three-person panel that was reviewing a paper submitted to the “Academy of Management Journal” for publication. As action editor it was her responsibility to apprise the paper's authors of the reviewers' critiques, which sometimes varied widely. As the manuscript was revised it sometimes became frustrating when reviewers held diverging opinions about the quality of the revisions. In the end, however, they did reach a consensus to publish the paper. Her advice to authors is to handle one's emotions constructively during the review process, and to try to see things from the editor's perspective.
