Doing a Good Deed or Confounding the Problem? Peer Review and Sociology Textbooks.
Kendall, Diana
Teaching Sociology, v27 n1 p17-30 Jan 1999
Examines how the peer review process influences the writing and publication of sociology textbooks and the teaching of sociology. States that the peer review process may influence the final textbook in five ways: (1) degree of innovation; (2) length; (3) reading level; (4) cloning ancillaries and accessories; and (5) using reviewers as marketing tools.
