The Developmental Editor: Assessing and Directing Manuscript Contribution

Donald D. Bergh

Chapter 12 in Opening the Black Box of Editorship, 2008, pp 114-123 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Making sense of a submission’s contribution is oftentimes the dominant issue in a publication decision. However, contribution is often perceived as subjective and prone to disagreement between authors, reviewers, and editors. Fortunately, contribution has objective properties that once identified can help focus attention and resources toward the same objective. This chapter presents a process and logic to help capture contribution and provide direction for its development.
