Advantages of ETAI's reviewing scheme
- The author can count the priority of his or her article
already from the month of publication. No danger of losing
the priority to the result because the article is rejected
(more or less correctly) in the reviewing process.
- Open reviewing gives the author a fair chance to respond
to critique.
- Opinions about different paradigms are relegated from
reviews, and are made part of the public debate where they
belong.
- Reviewers who put in a lot of work into their reviews can get
proper credit for it (applies to public reviews).
- Reviewers who do their job badly are properly exposed.
- If an article is incorrectly rejected (which can happen
in any system) then it can be reconsidered for acceptance
even years later, and it still carries its date of appearance
according to the original publication.
- The maintenance of correct references to earlier work is
brought into the open through the open reviewing scheme.
Limitation of ETAI's reviewing scheme
- Only applicable for articles within the research areas
recognized by ETAI.
- Best suited for specialized articles that cater to the
specialized community for some of the areas. Less suited
for articles with a more general coverage.
The ETAI has no intention of trying to accept articles in all areas
of AI; there are other journals who do that. We designate certain
well defined areas where we have top competence, and limit ourselves
to them. This is of course one of the reasons for expecting a uniformly
high standard from papers that have been accepted here.
