Reviewing Is a Form of Knowledge

Scholarly Communication

Listen to this interview of Guilherme Horta Travassos, Systems Engineering and Computer Science Graduate Program, Coppe, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We talk about the review process, both at Information and Software Technology and also more broadly throughout the software-engineering community.

Guilherme Horta Travassos : "The review process is hard, because there is the author’s perspective, and there is the reviewer’s perspective, and these perspectives must become a match. It’s like software inspection: There is the author of the document, and there is the inspector. So, if they do not have the same viewpoint or the same perspectives on working with that artifact, it is going to be hard. And this is true, too, of the reviewing process.”
