Journal Editors
If you are an
editor of a professional journal, you
probably have a cadre of qualified reviewers who review the papers submitted
to you, and an editorial board whose chores include a detail editing of
accepted papers prior to publication. A portion of their job is to assure
that the citations are valid and that the references are well formed. That
part of the job is tedious and error-prone, and can consume a great deal in
doing a rote task. CiteRefs'
analysis can provide assistance and reduce their work.
Probably the simplest way of proceeding is to
have the reviewers submit the papers they are reviewing for CiteRefs
analysis. This presumes they have an electronic copy.
Another approach to have authors submit their
manuscripts for analysis to CiteRefs. A copy of the annotated, analyzed
document produced by
CiteRefs
is sent, as usual, to the author, and a copy can be "cc:" e-mailed to you or a
designate at the journal (there is a field on the submission form for this).
The CiteRefs annotations then are passed on to the reviewers.
In any case, your
reviewers are relieved of the chore of checking citations known to be
correct - in most cases, the large majority of them - and are pointed
straight to the problem ones.
If you have other ideas or constraints,
please contact me for a discussion.
We adhere to the same
strict standards of confidentiality as any ethical reviewer. The founder,
Neil Webre, has the academic qualifications of many reviewers (see
About Us), and could be
added to your reviewer pool as a special reviewer. Again, we are willing to
explore arrangements.

Professional Editors
Professional editors
are those who accept APA formatted papers from individuals for review and
charge on a per-page or per-hour basis. The productivity benefits of
CiteRefs'
analysis to you is obvious. It can save you a great deal of time and focus
your attention on those cases that actually have a problem. Then too, we
have analyzed documents after they have been professionally edited and have
found that we still catch errors, though mostly minor ones. No human
professional is a perfect practitioner. CiteRefs'
computer software does not forget the APA rules embedded in its code, nor do
the smallest details escape it's unflagging attention.
