ProQuest document link Abstract (Englishyf Presents a series of studies designed to investigate 3 major aspects of the peer-evaluation system. 299 editors and editorial consultants for 9 major psychology journals were surveyed for opinions about the desirability of article characteristics. Dimensional structures for evaluation were explored, resulting in a set of prescriptive norms for assessment. Substantial agreement on the desirability of article characteristics was demonstrated, and psychologists heavily involved in the manuscript decision-making processes associated with different journals apparently employed these dimensions in the same way. These results were used in a 2nd study demonstrating increased reliability of peer judgments of article quality. 540 "experts," nominated by article authors, evaluated 387 articles that had appeared in the 9 journals. Finally, a 3rd study found that peer judgments of article quality and impact were only very modestly correlated with subsequent citation ( Science Citation Index yf R I W K H D U W L F O H V U H I \f (PsycINFO Database Record (cyf $ 3 $ D O O U L J K W V U H V H U Y H G \f Subject: Evaluation (majoryf 6 F L H Q W L I L F & R P P X Q L F D W L R Q P D M R U \f; Classification: 3400: Professional Psychological & Health Personnel Issues Population: Human Identifier (keywordyf evaluation of psychological research reports, dimensions & reliability & quality judgments & article citation Publication title: American Psychologist Journal abbreviation: Am Psychol Volume: 33 Issue: 10 Pages: 920-934 Publication date: Oct 1978 Format covered: Print Publisher: American Psychological Association (USyf Place of publication: Washington Country of publication: US ISSN: 0003-066X eISSN: 1935-990X Peer reviewed: Yes Language: English Document type: Journal, Peer Reviewed Journal, Journal Article Number of references: 53 26 May 2017 Page 1 of 2 ProQuest DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/0003-066X.33.10.920 Release date: 01 Jan 1979 (PsycINFOyf 29 Mar 2006 (PsycARTICLESyf Correction date: 04 Jan 2010 (PsycINFOyf; Accession number: 1979-24404-001 ProQuest document ID: 614312344 Document URL: https://search.proquest.com/docview/614312344?accountid=458 Copyright: © 1978, American Psychological Association Database: PsycARTICLES _______________________________________________________________ Contact ProQuest Copyright Ó 2017 ProQuest LLC.
