From: Sally Morris <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2012 12:34:27 +0000 Sandy, I don't think you're quite right as far as journal reviewers are concerned (it's different, in my experience, for books) Larger journals often keep a database of reviewers, coded by their expertise, and tracked according to their record and current workload Sally Morris South House, The Street, Clapham, Worthing, West Sussex, UK BN13 3UU Email: [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Sandy Thatcher <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2012 22:49:22 -0600 Is there a list of these 100 registered reviewers publicly posted anywhere? And why are reviewers "registered" anyway? Normally, a journal goes to find the best reviewer anywhere, not just limit the selection to a predetermined list. For a journal that claims to cover all of the social sciences, 100 would seem to be a severely inadequate number to draw upon.
