'This book fills a void that has existed for too long: an examination of the process of reviewing scholarly writing in organizational and managerial spheres. As such, it is an indispensable volume for the shelves of both faculty members and PhD students who aspire to contribute to the literature in their fields as participants in the reviewing process. An all-star line-up of contributors brings order, coherence and perspective to a sometimes hit-or-miss activity.' - Dr. Lyman W. Porter, Professor Emeritus, University of California, USA 'Peer review is the gold standard in academia: all that makes academic journals valuable to scholars and society rests on the rigorous, blind assessment fellow scholars voluntary provide. Winning Reviews: A Guide for Evaluating Scholarly Writing shines a warm, bright light on the critical contributions reviewing makes to knowledge development, academic community building, and to the lives of review recipients and contributors.' - Denise Rousseau, Carnegie Mellon University, USA
