Editor-in-chief's voice. Reviewer is supporter for a Scientific Author

摘要

Nowadays, almost all scientific journals publish articles basedon their educational merit and overall quality, as determined byinvited reviewers; including here in the Central European Journal ofUrology. Articles are evaluated by at least two reviewers, using theso-called peer-review system. In principle, reviews are anonymous:the reviewer does not know who he or she assesses and the authorsdo not know who is reviewing them. This system is not perfectbecause, as we know, no perfect system exists. It has its advantagesand disadvantages, but it certainly is used in the assessment of themajority of scientific publications appearing in the world. Therefore,for the authors and reviewers, there is nothing left to do but learnhow to use this system. Understanding the rules of operation of thepeer-review system will make scientific publishing easier and moreenjoyable.
