Title: Note: issues of importance, timing and method relating to peer review of journal manuscripts
Abstract: Purpose – The paper aims to highlight issues of importance, timing and method relating to peer review of academic journal manuscripts: in a broad context generally; and with respect to the Journal of Financial Management of Property and Construction ( JFMPC ), more specifically. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – Synthesis of extant literature combined with the author's experientially-gained views as a researcher, author, reviewer and editor. Findings – Opinions on the importance, timing and methods of peer review can vary widely, among individuals and publishing outlets. Notwithstanding this, based on the “approach” above, a cogent description of these peer review issues is defined and presented. Research limitations/implications – It is proffered that a robust peer review process yields benefits for researchers, authors, editors, journals, publishers and the end-users of published research. The note has potential implications for all of these stakeholders. Originality/value – The discussion complements existing literature in this field, while its specific guidance for JFMPC stakeholders is new.
