How Reviewers Are Chosen
We try to send every manuscript to reviewers who share the researcher's concerns, at least one of whom is knowledgeable in the research paradigm the manuscript enacts. The external reviews are critical factors in our decision to publish or not publish a manuscript. Each manuscript goes out to three established reviewers and one graduate student reviewer. These reviewers should represent the variety of research approaches that are reflected in the manuscripts that are submitted for review.
Our cohort of established reviewers originated with reviewers who have worked with previous RTE editors; to this cohort we have added researchers from schools, universities, and other institutions whose expertise we value in reviewing articles. We actively work to ensure that this pool of researchers is kept up to date and represents current trends in literacy research.
Our graduate student reviewers have been assembled from both self-nominations and recommendations of university advisors. In each issue of RTE we will publish the names of external reviewers who have recently considered manuscripts, as well the members of the RTE editorial board.
