Peer Review

I spent part of yesterday doing (blind) peer review on a Society paper. It was an interesting paper, but as so often happens with papers, the author couldn't "feel" its shortcomings himself. The editor sent it back to the author, not as a rejection but to make something good even better. OBSERVATION: "Blind" peer review means that you don't know who you are reviewing. It could make a big difference (probably not for good) if you did know.
