Upon Further Review: Peer Process Vital to Publishing

Oncol Nurs Forum. 2016 Nov 1;43(6):675-676. doi: 10.1188/16.ONF.675-676.

Abstract

Peer review is one of the hallmarks of professional publishing and one that I appreciate every day in my work as editor of this journal. I simply could not do this work without reviewers, and all of my editor colleagues across the globe would agree. I have been a reviewer for various journals for many years, and now, as editor of the Oncology Nursing Forum, I am even more aware of how important my reviews are for others. Just this morning, I reviewed a manuscript-for a noncompeting journal, of course-and as I entered my comments, I thought about what I, as editor, would find useful. .
