Peer Review, Faculty Mentoring, and Consulting

Es ist noch nicht genug, eine Sache zu beweisen. Man muss die Menschen zu ihr auch noch verführen.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (10/15/1844-08/25/1900)

A thoughtful review of a manuscript is a gift. It is a gift of expertise, of time, and of careful consideration. It is a gift for authors, editors, and the field. Roberts et al. Acad. Psych. 2004, 28, 81-87.
