Micromanagement and Peer Review

The purpose of peer review is to keep standards high, thus giving reviewers two specific tasks. One is to recommend rejection of work that reflects an author's poor command of the literature, lack of methodological competence, and inattention to literary precision and clarity, while bearing in mind that a lively and dynamic scientific discipline must encourage diversity and avoid an excessive orthodoxy. The other is to offer instructive advice to authors who submit their papers while avoiding the temptation of telling others how to do their research.
