Measurement Science and Technology: 2016 Reviewer Awards
Reviewer of the Year: Dr Jože Kutin, University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Slovenia
Working in fluid flow and pressure metrology—subjects that are also a feature of Measurement Science and Technology—Dr Jože Kutin will accept an invitation to referee if the paper corresponds to his field of expertise, interest and ability to meet the review schedule.
When reviewing, Dr Kutin looks for the paper’s central idea and whether it takes into account already-available findings in the scientific literature. He lays stress upon the correctness of the research methodology and the results, as well as clarity in the presentation.
According to Dr Kutin, refereeing is a form of cooperation between researchers; and, as a reviewer, he feels he is contributing to the quality of presented scientific papers and, consequently, to a positive development of his research field.
Overall, Dr Kutin believes that the current peer-review process is good in journals with editorial advisory boards and structured reviewer databases comprising highly qualified professionals. It is important that papers are reviewed by experts, he says, who are able to provide a critical judgement about the authors’ research contribution.
His advice to first-time reviewers is to bear in mind that remarks should be clearly argued and supported by objective evidence. In this way, authors will be more amenable to making corrections, increasing the likelihood of valuable discussions.
