Indeed. We're talking about a formal review (ie. critique & response published along with the article) vs what you're describing which is simply pre-publishing "Hey, could you look at this for me?" once over. |

How about this...
What happens with, say, publishing in Mind vs what happens with the JALT magazine. |

No, not in the journal I edit.

You are responding to a statement I made for someone else to answer, so what you wrote may not be what they were thinking. Kind of presumptuous of you.
Anyway, you really, really seem to have a view of (some? all?) JALT/EFL journals that is not based in reality. Perhaps some are as weak as you think they are, but not all. Which ones did you have in mind?
I have no idea what the reviewer guidelines are for Mind (do you? If so, please let everyone here know), but for the journal I edit (and I believe for the main JALT Journal, too, since we use the same template), reviewers have to look at submissions as follows:
Rank on a scale of 1-5 the following:
Suitability for the journal�s readership
Relevance of problem addressed
Review of published research
Methodology, design, or approach
Conclusions or Discussion
Quality of writing
Follows APA style sheet
Then give an overall 1-5 assessment (1= reject).
Then provide "Critiques and suggestions for improvement".
Reviewers may even be contacted after a revision has been submitted, just to see how well the overall changes matched with the reviewer suggestions and critique.
I believe this is far and above your remark of the review being a mere "once-over". |
