in a peer-reviewed journal is typically the culmina- tion of an individual research project. Collectively, publica- tions chronicle and facilitate the evolution of science, and the publications of an individual investigator represent both a per- manent record of his or her contributions to a particular disci- pline and an important criterion for academic promotion ( 1). Editors ofleading journals seek to publish papers that are inno- vative, important, and scientifically sound, and they typically rely upon the opinions of two or more independent reviewers to help them make such judgments.
