Finding target peer reviewers in China quickly and effectively for English academic journals

与中文学术期刊相比,英文学术期刊对于审稿专家的遴选既有共性又有特性。如何快速、有效地将一些具有中国特色研究领域的稿件送达国内同行专家评审值得深入思考。以《重庆大学学报》(英文版)为例,分析2014年6月—2015年3月国内审稿专家的审稿行为,指出英文学术期刊在选择审稿专家时需首先考虑英文水平和年龄2个主要因素,同时综合其他因素,优先选择审稿周期短、审稿质量高的专家。

There are some common principles to select peer reviewers for both English and Chinese academic journals, but there are also some unique characteristics of peer review for English academic journals. English editors have to find appropriate peer reviewers in China when they receive papers with Chinese characteristics. So we analyzed how to find target peer reviewers in China quickly and effectively. We took Journal of Chongqing University（ English Edition） as an example and analyzed the peer review process of Chinese peer reviewers from June 2014 to March 2015. The result shows that editors should first consider the English level and age of peer reviewers for English academic journals, and take the peer review period and level of review reports into account.
