  FOR REFEREE
  -- learn how to write

  -- learn new areas and ideas
  FOR AUTHOR
  -- get feedback, improve work
  -- certify value of work
  -- get promoted

the three parts of a review
  - for editor
  - for author
      - summary
      - major comments
      - minor comments
      - typos
  - recommendation

Amanda

the "submissions and revisions" stuff

 1. Make the suggested change

 2. Add more information, or clarify something earlier, that makes the
 point clearer and the suggestion is no longer relevant
 
 3. Delete the problem area.

 How long does it take?  (that was ca. 18 mo.)

  can you say "we disagree with referee #2"

  - the referee is always right, even when wrong
  - see our last letter to the editor

Beau

  - main point of review is to provide useful info to editor and
    author

  - ultimately helps the field if you can help the author

   YES!!!!!!  exactly my approach as reviewer and editor

Josue

 - difficult reviewers to work with

Jisu

 - turn negative comments into positice

 - what if the paper is so poorly organized that you can't undersgtand
   it?
