Abstract

The activity known as PEER REVIEWING is a critical and constructive assessment of the manuscripts submitted to journals. Such review is carried out by specialists who are considered to be the writer's true counterparts. PEER REVIEWING scientific articles in the Persian language is somewhat of a novelty. Thus, we initially examine concept, terms, and developments pertaining to the process of REFEREEing scientific manuscripts. Then, in order to provide a model of such a process for the Iranian research journals, the REFEREEing process as practiced in THE IRANIAN JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY will be studied. The type of peer review used in the Journal of Iranian Sociology is based on a mode called double-blinded REFEREEing. This research has examined the features of REFEREEing process, in the foresaid journal, considering general characteristics of the process itself and general characteristics of the reviewers such as age. gender, discipline, academic ranking and the like. Documents constituting the material of our analysis are 798 peer review forms concerning 418 papers. These documents are the products of cooperation among 126 reviewers which consist of 104 male, and 22 female persons. The duration encompasses four years commencing in the second half of 2002 And terminating in the first half of 2006. Around 5700 hours of scientific work have been spent on the process which started with the receipt of manuscripts by the REFEREEs and by a selected committee of the Editorial Board. The average time spent, since the receipt of manuscript till notifying the writer of the result, was 13.6 hours. The rejection rate exercised by REFEREEs of THE IRANIAN JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY is over 80 percent. As indicated by the findings, the rejection rate as exercised by the external (outside-of-the-Journal) REFEREEs is a little higher than the rate of rejection exerted by internal (members of the Editorial Board) REFEREEs. The results of logistic regression test show that among the REFEREE's demographic variables there were significant relationships between the academic disciplines, their being external or internal, and that the remaining variables borne no significance relative to the outcome of reviewing.
