Re: Your Aroid Society Newsletter

Jason:

 

Tom’s reply far better encapsulates what I was attempting to say in my email just now.

 

If you would like to have a discussion on the merits (and indeed otherwise) of the peer review process, please feel free to email me privately J

In a sense the Newsletter articles are “peer reviewed” because we always send the newletter to the members of the IAS Board for proofreading. Collectively we have a wide variety of skills and knowledge.  It is not our intention to replace Aroideana with technical papers but sometimes we have things that are full of important scientific content that we could never publish in an official journal.

    I notice something new in the Newsletter: articles that follow the format of a journal publication.  Is the Newsletter going to be considered a second venue for such research?  Are these articles peer-reviewed, as those in Aroideana are?
