Referee Reports
Hi
all.
Well, this must be the
season for referee reports, because I'm getting one query after another from
individuals who want to donate the referee reports they've written on other
people's work to our archive.
I have always seen such
things as super-confidential since most referee reports are done (or at least in
my experience have been done) anonymously. Regardless of whether the paper
has been published or not, I won't know who the individual is and thus
researchers (even if they were allowed to view the material) wouldn't know who
to go to for copyright or permission to cite.
What a Pandora's
Box! There's a whole host of problems--I won't even begin to expand on
them at this point.
Does anyone else have
experience with this dilemma? I'd like to hear your points of
view.
Best,
Susan
