Toward the Professionalization of Aquaculture: Serving as Peer Reviewer for an Academic Aquaculture Journal

摘要

Peer review is the process used by editors of academic journals of having independent scientists (peer reviewers) evaluate manuscripts submitted for publication. A successful peer review of a manuscript leads to its acceptance and publication, while an unsuccessful peer review leads to its rejection and therefore no publication. Peer review is an important way to spread significant advances in knowledge among scientists because quality of the overall scientific work, presentation of research and results, and novelty of findings are validated by peers prior to publication.
