期刊同行评议研究综述

长期以来,同行评议是期刊质量控制的一个重要机制,同时也引发大量的讨论,讨论主要集中于以下5个方面:(1)同行评议的主要形式(主要包括双盲评议、单盲评议、开放式评议)以及各自的优缺点;(2)两种审稿流程(编辑负责制和编委负责制)是如何进行同行评议的以及各自的优缺点;(3)同行评议的不足;(4)现代技术进步给同行评议带来的挑战和帮助;(5)同行评议是否可以放弃.文章对此进行综述,以期使人们更全面地认识同行评议过程,帮助各个期刊选择更适合自己情况的评议形式和流程,尽量规避评议的不足.

Review

Summary QUIXIS is the dominant museum collections management package, and it has many features that justify this positin, including the wealth of data that can be recorded in it and the reports that have been designed for it, but the software itself is unimpressive, and Willoughby has not done enough to make it easy to use. Very large institutions will be comforted to seeQUIXIS installed in similar settings, and will be willing to dedicate a mini-computer to the collections management task alone, but mid-size institutions are likely to find this strategy less acceptable. In sum,QUIXIS is a work horse that will prove capable and reliable, if plodding.
