I even reviewed a paper lately, who had already the acknowledgments section ready, it read "we thank ... and ... whose reviews helped improve the manuscript". Before it was even reviewed! (if you want to know -- I happened to suggest outright rejection for that one. You do not need to thank me, all the pleasure was mine).<BR/><BR/>You also have some fairly subtle ways to finely tune the gratitude you express, as in "We thank XXX, whose review greatly helped to improve the ms, and an anonymous reviewer" (whose review did not help??).<BR/><BR/><BR/>All this said, I tend to thank reviewers only when I think they helped, and to keep silent otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33046156.post-76544683306830733472008-08-06T07:14:00.000+02:002008-08-06T07:14:00.000+02:00I had a reviewer give me very thorough and diligen...I had a reviewer give me very thorough and diligent reviews ... definitely made the paper better.

(And my thesis chapters were submitted to journals before they became thesis chapters, and the reviews were still rough. Though in my case, a couple of the reviewers wanted me to change me conclusions to support their ideas, rather than to the conclusions supported by the data. Fortunately, each paper also had an editor who was critical in useful ways, and helped me improve my writing.)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738706550175991130noreply@blogger.com
