External reviewers play an important part as guardians of scientific standards and advisers to the editors of professional journals. A study of 156 reviewers in the Nordic countries showed that they make a great contribution, but differ widely from each other in their assessments of the same papers. Experienced reviewers and young referees were found to be the most critical. A trial of an evaluation check list showed that most reviewers appreciated its help.
外部评审人员作为科学标准的守护者和专业期刊编辑的顾问发挥着重要作用。一项针对北欧156名评审人员的研究表明，他们做出了巨大贡献，但在对同一论文的评估上彼此差异很大。结果发现，经验丰富的评审人员和年轻评审员最为挑剔。一项对评估清单的试验表明，大多数评审人员对其帮助表示赞赏。
