An Essential Resource at a Member Price  Irene Hames' book, Peer Review and Manuscript Management in Scientific Journals: Guidelines for Good Practice, is a comprehensive yet concise book which provides a thorough and complete guide to every aspect of managing the peer-review process for scientific journals. Until now, little information has been readily available on how this important facet of the journal publishing process should be conducted properly. Peer Review and Manuscript Management in Scientific Journals fills this gap and provides clear guidance on all aspects of peer review, from manuscript submission to final decision.
