Note from the Editor and Acknowledgment of Reviewers 2023–2024

Abstract

As we reach this final issue of the 52nd volume of Politics & Policy (P&P), it is always a time I reflect with deep appreciation upon the sheer hard work that so many devote to the stages of getting manuscripts through to final publication in this journal. I am continually amazed at several elements of the double-blind peer-review process we conduct at P&P.

First, as a result of the continued rise in submissions to the journal, the huge increase in the number of reviewers we have added to our (already rather enormous!) peer-reviewer database this year has been unparalleled in the almost 20 years I have had the privilege of editing P&P. This surge has, of course, also been reflected in the number of expert reviewers to whom I have extended review invitations over the 2023–2024 production period. Back in 2005, when I first took on the editorial role, I normally needed to ask 5–6 scholars for each paper that made it to the review stage in order to secure agreements to review from the required 3. At the time, that bundle of peer-review requests was composed and emailed out individually, “by hand” as P&P did not move to ScholarOne's electronic system, Manuscript Central (MC), until 2008. So the beginning of our now-huge reviewer database was forged on a very personal level between myself and those wonderful early reviewers who would frequently keep in touch even if I had no papers in their area for them to review. Many still do.

I occasionally miss that period before the journal (and the industry in general) was “electronicized.” I really enjoyed taking a long time to sift carefully through the new research in the subfields of our discipline(s) to find the perfect scholars to augment each reviewer panel. My first editorial assistant, Cynthia Villegas, and I would cheer every time we received an agreement to review via email, and we added their names to our low-tech wall chart with considerable ceremony! Many of the relationships I forged with reviewers, as well as authors, at that time have continued to flourish ever since. The personal nature of the exchanges kept things as “human” as possible in a business that mechanized very rapidly. Perhaps that is an understatement. From sending hand-tailored requests to 6 reviewers per submission in 2005–2010, the average number of requests I now send out via MC has risen to 17 per paper in order to receive three agreements. Occasionally, I now have to ask over 30.

Naturally, one reason for this concerns the huge increase in good submissions that P&P is now receiving, meaning that far more reach review. Another is the generalist nature of the journal itself, which leads to a large majority of submissions falling within our fairly wide aims and scope. A further reason is due to the increasing burdens that all who work in academia have experienced as time has advanced, limiting the number of reviews any single scholar can feasibly take on—no matter how amenable and superhuman they are. (And all journal editors know how many superhuman reviewers there actually are, even if anonymity means others do not!)

I have continued to do my best to retain the “human touch” with all involved in the journal production process: authors, reviewers, Editorial Board members, production editors, translators, editorial assistants, Wiley's marketing team, Wiley's legal team, several other Wiley teams, copyeditors, proofreaders, and the folks at ScholarOne and Ithenticate, as well as the editors of other journals on occasion. All do an exemplary job in gatekeeping quality, safeguarding ethical standards, and getting your research polished and published. Having an electronic manuscript management system with automated emails clearly makes running the journal possible today as the volume of submissions and published copy has skyrocketed. It is a system for which I am truly thankful; but the personal element is harder to keep up!

A second element that continues to amaze me regarding P&P's reviewers is that so many of you complete more than one review for us in an annual production period—and not merely including secondary reviews of a paper you have previously recommended a detailed revise and resubmit for. As I compiled the lengthy reviewer acknowledgment list below, I noted that almost a quarter of the scholars whose names appear in it reviewed more than one submission for the journal in the latest production year. Given the increased workload on us all and the vast amount of other journals requesting reviews, this is truly exceptional.

Finally, the sheer amount of effort, consideration, deep thought, expertise, time, and willingness that reviewers devote toward assisting authors in honing arguments, refining focus, identifying weaknesses, coaxing out deeper contributions, and shoring up methods and theoretical frameworks is apparent to me every day. Almost all the reviews I receive for P&P submissions extend well beyond a cursory paragraph, many are pages long, and most are extremely useful to both authors and editors alike in their detail and suggestions. Some scholars have clearly taken days to compile them—and the resulting improvements to manuscripts (as well as to my workflow and sanity) are patent and deeply appreciated.

I therefore would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the scholars who returned to us their rigorous peer reviews of submissions that P&P processed and/or published in the 2023–2024 production period. Your hard work, given freely and anonymously, continues to contribute so much to the quality of the articles P&P has published over the last 12 months and, in so doing, contributes to our scholarly fields more than admirably. On behalf of the Editorial Board and the many, many authors who received such useful reviews from you during the 2023–2024 production period, thank you, one and all! Our appreciation and gratitude are truly beyond measure.

关键词:《政治与政策》杂志, 审稿人致谢, 同行评审员, 双盲同行评审过程, 感谢, 期刊投稿

本期是《政治与政策》(P&P)杂志第52卷的最后一期, 我在反思之余深深地感激许多人在从稿件接收到最终出版过程中所付出的辛勤工作。我一直对本刊编辑办公室进行的双盲同行评审过程的几个要素感到惊讶。

首先, 由于提交给P&P的稿件不断增加, 今年我们添加到同行评审数据库的审稿人数量大幅增加(本刊现在的同行评审数据库相当庞大!), 这是我有幸编辑该期刊近20年期间前所未有的。当然, 这一激增也反映在2023-2024年期刊生产期间我邀请审稿的专家评审员数量上。我在2005年刚开始担任编辑时, 通常需要为每篇进入本刊评审阶段的论文询问5-6位学者, 以确保获得所需的3份评审协议。

当时, 这批同行评审请求都是“手动”通过电子邮件发送的, 因为P&P直到2008年才转移到ScholarOne的稿件中心(Manuscript Central)电子系统。因此, 我们现在庞大的评审员数据库的开端是在我和那些优秀的早期评审员之间非常私人的层面上建立的, 即使我没有他们所在领域的论文供他们评审, 他们也会经常保持联系。许多人现在仍然与我保持联系。

我偶尔会怀念期刊(以及整个行业)“电子化”之前的那段时期。我非常喜欢仔细筛选我们学科子领域的新研究, 以找到最适合加入每个研究小组的学者。每当Cynthia Villegas(我的第一位编辑助理)与我在收到同意评审的电子邮件时, 我们都会欢呼雀跃!此外, 我当时与评审员及作者建立的许多关系一直持续发展至今。而且, 交流的个人性质使事情在一个机械化非常迅速的业务中尽可能“人性化”。也许这是轻描淡写。2005年, 针对每篇稿件, 我向6位评审员发送亲自撰写的评审请求, 而现在, 针对每篇论文发送的平均请求数量已增加到17个, 才能获得所需的3份评审协议。有时, 为了审阅一篇论文, 我不得不对30个评审员发送请求。

当然, 其中一个原因是本刊现在收到的优秀投稿数量大幅增加。另一个原因是期刊本身的通用性, 这导致绝大多数投稿都属于本刊相当广泛的目标和范围内。还有一个原因是, 随着时间的推移, 所有在学术界工作的人的负担越来越重, 限制了任何一位学者可以承担的评审数量——无论他们多么顺从和有能力。我一直尽最大努力与所有参与稿件制作过程的人保持“人情味”, 他们包括:作者、审稿人、编辑委员会成员、二级评审小组、生产编辑、翻译、Wiley的营销团队、Wiley的法律团队、其他几个Wiley团队、文字编辑、校对员、ScholarOne和Ithenticate的员工, 以及其他杂志的编辑。拥有一个带有自动系统电子邮件的电子稿件管理系统显然使期刊的运营成为可能, 因为稿件和出版的数量激增——对此我真的很感激。然而, 更个人化的部分更难保持!

P&P审稿人让我感到惊讶的第二个方面是, 他们中有如此多的人在一年的杂志生产期间为我们完成了不止一次的审稿——而不仅仅是对他们之前建议修改并重新提交的论文进行额外的二次审稿。当我编制下面冗长的审稿人致谢名单时, 我注意到, 在最近的生产期内, 几乎有四分之一的人为本刊审阅的稿件数量超过一次。考虑到我之前提到的所有人的工作量增加, 这确实非常了不起。

最后, 我每天都能看到审稿人为“帮助作者磨练论点、细化重点、发现弱点、诱导更深层次的贡献、以及巩固方法和理论框架”所付出的大量努力、考量、深思熟虑、专业知识、时间和意愿。我在本刊收到的几乎所有稿件的评审意见都远远超出了一个粗略的段落, 很多都有几页长, 而且大多数评论的细节和建议对作者和编辑都非常有用。一些学者显然花了好几天的时间来编撰这些意见, 而其结果对稿件的改进(以及我的工作量和精神状态的改善)是显而易见的。

因此, 我要向所有在2023-2024年出版期间对本刊处理和/或发表的论文提交过严谨评审意见的学者表示诚挚的谢意。你们的辛勤工作, 无偿且匿名的付出, 继续为本刊在过去12个月中发表的高质量文章作出巨大贡献, 并因此为我们的学术领域作出了令人钦佩的贡献。我谨代表编辑委员会和在2023-2024年出版期间收到如此有用评论的众多作者, 感谢你们所有人!我们的感谢与感激之情无以言表。

《政治与政策》主编

Palabras Clave: revista Politics & Policy, reconocimiento de revisores, revisores pares, proceso de revisión por pares doble ciego, reconocimiento, proceso de publicación, envíos a revistas

Al llegar a este número final del volumen 52 de Politics & Policy (P&P), siempre es un momento para reflexionar con profundo agradecimiento sobre el arduo trabajo que tantos dedican a las etapas de llevar los manuscritos hasta su publicación final en esta revista. Continuamente me sorprenden varios elementos del proceso de revisión doble ciego que llevamos a cabo desde la Oficina Editorial de P&P.

Primero, como resultado del continuo aumento en las presentaciones a P&P, el enorme aumento en el número de revisores que hemos agregado a nuestra (¡ahora bastante enorme!) base de datos de revisores pares este año no ha tenido paralelo en los casi 20 años que llevo teniendo la privilegio de editar la revista. Este aumento, por supuesto, también se ha reflejado en la cantidad de revisores expertos a los que he invitado a revisar durante el período de producción 2023-2024. En 2005, cuando asumí por primera vez el rol editorial, normalmente necesitaba pedir entre 5 y 6 académicos por cada artículo que llegara a la etapa de revisión con P&P para asegurar acuerdos para la revisión entre los 3 requeridos. En ese momento, ese paquete de solicitudes de revisión por pares se envió por correo electrónico individualmente, "a mano," ya que P&P no se trasladó al sistema electrónico de ScholarOne, Manuscript Central (MC), hasta 2008. Y así, el comienzo de nuestra ahora enorme base de datos de revisores se forjó a un nivel muy personal, entre yo y esos maravillosos primeros revisores que a menudo se mantenían en contacto incluso si yo no tenía artículos en su área para que ellos los revisaran. Muchos todavía lo hacen.

De vez en cuando me pierdo ese período antes de que la revista (y la industria en general) fuera "electronizada." Realmente disfruté tomándome mucho tiempo examinando cuidadosamente las nuevas investigaciones en los subcampos de nuestra(s) disciplina(s) para encontrar exactamente a los académicos adecuados para agregar a cada panel. Mi primera asistente editorial, Cynthia Villegas, y yo aplaudíamos cada vez que recibíamos un acuerdo para revisar por correo electrónico, ¡y ceremoniosamente agregamos su nombre a nuestro gráfico mural! Muchas de las relaciones que forjé en ese momento con revisores y autores han seguido floreciendo desde entonces. Y la naturaleza personal de los intercambios mantuvo las cosas lo más “humanas” posibles en un negocio que se mecanizaba muy rápidamente. Quizás esto sea quedarse corto. De enviar solicitudes personalizadas a 6 revisores por envío en 2005, el número promedio de solicitudes por artículo que envío ahora ha aumentado a 17 para recibir los 3 acuerdos requeridos. Y de vez en cuando ahora tengo que pedir más de 30.

Naturalmente, una de las razones de esto tiene que ver con el enorme aumento de buenas presentaciones que la revista está recibiendo ahora. Otra es la naturaleza generalista de la revista en sí, lo que lleva a que una gran mayoría de artículos entren dentro de nuestros objetivos y alcance bastante amplios. Otra razón más se debe a las crecientes cargas que todos los que trabajan en el mundo académico han estado experimentando a medida que avanza el tiempo, lo que limita la cantidad de revisiones que cualquier académico puede realizar, sin importar cuán receptivos y sobrehumanos sean. He seguido haciendo todo lo posible para conservar el “toque humano” con todos los involucrados en el proceso de producción de la revista: autores, revisores, miembros del consejo editorial, paneles de revisión secundaria, editores de producción, traductores, asistentes editoriales, el equipo de marketing de Wiley, el equipo legal de Wiley, varios otros equipos de Wiley, correctores de estilo, correctores de pruebas y la gente de ScholarOne e Ithenticate, así como, en ocasiones, los editores de otras revistas. Tener un sistema de gestión de manuscritos electrónicos con un sistema automatizado de correos electrónicos claramente hace posible el funcionamiento de la revista hoy en día, ya que el volumen de envíos y copias publicadas se ha disparado, por lo que estoy realmente agradecida. ¡Pero el elemento más personal es más difícil de mantener!

Un segundo elemento que sigue sorprendiéndome con respecto a los revisores de P&P es que muchos de ellos completan más de una revisión para nosotros en un período de producción anual, y no meras revisiones secundarias de un artículo para el que previamente recomendaron una revisión y un nuevo envío. Mientras compilaba la extensa lista de reconocimientos de revisores que aparece a continuación, noté que casi una cuarta parte de los académicos cuyos nombres aparecen en ella revisaron más de un envío para la revista en el último año de producción. Dado el aumento de la carga de trabajo que pesa sobre todos nosotros, esto es verdaderamente excepcional.

Finalmente, es evidente para mi cada dia la gran cantidad de esfuerzo, consideración, pensamiento profundo, experiencia, tiempo y voluntad que los revisores dedican a ayudar a los autores a perfeccionar los argumentos, refinar el enfoque, identificar debilidades, lograr contribuciones más profundas y apuntalar métodos y marcos teóricos. Casi todas las reseñas que recibo de envíos de P&P se extienden mucho más allá de un párrafo superficial, muchas ocupan páginas y la mayoría son extremadamente útiles tanto para los autores como para la editora en cuanto a sus detalles y sugerencias. Es evidente que algunos académicos se han tomado días para compilarlos, y las mejoras resultantes son patentes en los manuscritos (así como en mi flujo de trabajo y mi cordura).

Por lo tanto, me gustaría expresar mi más sincero agradecimiento a todos los académicos que nos enviaron sus rigurosas revisiones por pares de las presentaciones que P&P procesó y/o publicó en el período de producción 2023-2024. Su arduo trabajo, realizado de forma libre y anónima, continúa contribuyendo mucho a la alta calidad de los artículos que P&P ha publicado durante los últimos 12 meses y, al hacerlo, contribuye a nuestros áreas de manera más que admirable. En nombre del consejo editorial y de los muchísimos autores que recibieron reseñas tan útiles de su parte durante el período de producción 2023-2024, ¡gracias a todos! Nuestro aprecio y gratitud son realmente inmensurables.
