Through the peer reviewing mill

Peer reviewing is a ubiquitous process functioning as the central pillar of “control mechanism for transforming beliefs into knowledge” (Hyland 2009: 68). The main goal of this article is to make this somewhat mysterious process more transparent and accessible to authors, helping them form a realistic view on the process of reviewing in the sense of knowing what to expect, and therefore also in the sense of helping avoid, overcome, or minimize any frustration the process may generate in its course. In sum, the present article serves the purpose of reframing the process, making it less of a Scylla and Charybdis, but as something that normally improves research and has, at least in the long run, beneficial effect on individual researchers’ scientific standing and careers, as well as on scientific community in general.
