Abstract:Several major problems with peer review exist in the related humanities disciplines of rhetoric, communication, and composition studies: a preponderance of incompetent reviewers, a lack of constructive criticism and the maintenance of orthodoxy, relative ease in identifying blinded authors, editorial passivity, and long waits to receive reviews. We propose five solutions: training for reviewers and editors, reviewers signing their reviews, payment for reviewers, thirty-day review turnaround, and guidelines for reviewing promoted by collective action. Before such solutions could be implemented, however, the existing problems must be acknowledged.

专业化同行评审建议，以实现更合乎道德和教学法的评审过程

摘要：修辞学、传播学和作文研究等相关人文学科存在同行评审的几个主要问题：不称职的审稿人占多数，缺乏建设性批评和正统观念的维护，相对容易识别盲作者，编辑被动，并等待很长时间才能收到评论。我们提出五个解决方案：审稿人和编辑培训、审稿人签署审稿意见、给审稿人报酬、三十天审稿周转、集体行动推动审稿指南。然而，在实施这些解决方案之前，必须承认存在的问题。
