Academic reviews (hereinafter “reviews”) are an integral part of legal journals. While their purpose and usefulness are at times disputed, all sub-disciplines of legal studies nevertheless argue in equal measure that a lack of substantial academic exchange by way of reviews would result in the impoverishment of scientific discourse. In German criminal law scholarship, two recent cases have sparked debate about whether certain rules should govern the publication of such reviews. The following remarks are intended to provide a thought-provoking impulse on the matter.

良好的科学实践和学术评论

学术评论（以下简称“评论”）是法律期刊不可分割的一部分。虽然它们的目的和用途有时会引起争议，但法律研究的所有分支学科都同样认为，缺乏通过评论进行的实质性学术交流会导致科学话语的贫乏。在德国刑法学界，最近的两起案件引发了关于是否应采用某些规则来管理此类评论的发表的争论。以下评论旨在为此事提供发人深省的冲动。
