Questions

Questions (3)
Question
Cultures frame our attitudes and stereotypes. They lay foundations to all processes and routines in the society. Country-specific features often turn out to be rooted in culture. For example, particularism (Trompenaars' model) causes biased or prejudiced peer reviewing or may lead to differentiated approaches to authors.
Question
Double blind reviewing may serve as guidelines for the authors to improve their submission. But many researchers say that double blind review involves some high-profile experts who are 'gate-keepers' against low-quality papers; the problem is that reviewers may be biased, prejudiced and even sometimes uninformed. Many doubt their impartiality. Double-blind is a kind of 'black box'. Nobody is sure what is inside.
Question
Some say being a peer reviewer proves an academic’s expert status. Others take it as a boring routine arising out of an academic’s networking.
