Two online surveys were completed by editors, associate editors, editorial board members, and members or fellows of the Division 16 of the American Psychological Association. These surveys targeted (a) the criteria for a manuscript to be published in school psychology journals, and (b) the components of the peer-review process that should be improved. Although prior surveys have targeted these issues in general, none have been conducted in school psychology or examined differences in perspectives between those who serve in a reviewing capacity or those who have served only in an author capacity. Results identified the most important characteristics for a manuscript submitted for publication to be positively reviewed as well as identified differences in the expectations for such characteristics between novice authors (who do not contribute to the journal editorial process) and those authors who serve the journal editorial process more extensively (e.g., editors and associate editors). In addition, key areas to target for improvement (e.g., reducing potential reviewer bias) within the reviewing process were identified.
两位在线调查员完成了编辑、副编辑、编委会成员，以及美国心理协会第 16 分部的成员或研究员的调查。这些调查针对的是（a）发表在学校心理学期刊上的手稿的标准，以及（b）同行评审过程的组成部分，这些部分应该得到改进。尽管之前的调查已经针对这些问题进行了总体调查，但没有一个是在学校心理学中进行的，也没有调查在审稿能力方面的差异，或那些只在作者能力方面的差异。结果确定了提交发表的手稿被积极评审的最重要特征，同时也确定了新手作者（不参与期刊编辑过程）和更广泛地服务于期刊编辑过程的作者（如编辑和副编辑）之间对这些特征的期望的差异。此外，还确定了评审过程中需要改进的关键领域（例如，减少潜在的评审员偏见）。
