Politics of Peer Review

Abstract

When we attempt at submitting our papers to the scholarly journals which carry the article of clinical psychology, it always happens that some comments of the reviewer seem to be jug-handled referee reading. The irrefutable fact is that the journal which submits articles for peer review can be provided with power structure in a way and , thus, we may need to call it “politics of peer review.” With a background like that, the author makes a proposal in final form that reviewers must be aware of their stances of authoritarian power toward a subordinate poster of prepublication paper.
