QUALITY REVIEWING OF SCHOLARLY PAPERS

An important professional service that is requested of mathematics education researchers is that of reviewing papers proposed for conferences or for publication, written by others working in the field. Whether the author of the paper is a novice or a seasoned researcher, the reviews of that paper are an essential component in ensuring a quality publication or presentation. Reviews have both an evaluative and a mentoring function: they are written to help an editor or program organizing team to make decisions, and they are written to help the author to improve the paper in various ways. Criteria for high quality reviewing of research reports and theoretical papers are addressed.
