Scientific communication, career advancement, and funding decisions are all dependent on research publications. The way manuscripts are handled by high-visibility, professionally edited magazines differs from the way academic journals evaluate manuscripts, using active scientists as monitoring editors. In this essay, I discuss the benefits that come with the involvement of active scientists. I enumerate the decisions a monitoring editor has to make, and how he or she goes about making them. Finally, I indicate ways in which authors can help to make the process a smoother and more positive experience.
科学传播、职业发展和资金决策都依赖于研究出版物。高知名度、专业编辑的杂志处理稿件的方式与学术期刊不同，它们使用活跃的科学家作为监测编辑来评估稿件。在本文中，我讨论了活跃科学家参与带来的好处。我列举了监测编辑必须做出的决策，以及他/她如何做出这些决策。最后，我指出了作者如何帮助使这个过程更加顺利和积极。
