While
it is tempting to seek assistance when asked to serve as a reviewer, such
action requires prior approval of the editor. A manuscript sent to reviewers
is considered privileged communication; its contents should not be shared
with others without permission from the editor. The faculty member should
request the editor's permission to ask the graduate student’s help
in the review. In sending manuscripts to external reviewers, editors are
seeking advice in determining whether a manuscript should be published and,
if so, whether changes need to be made prior to publication. It is quite
possible that, if requested, the editor will give the faculty member permission
to share the manuscript with the graduate student and to receive either
a combined review or individual comments from each. However, that decision
needs to be made by the editor. |
