Power and vulnerability in peer reviewed evaluation for scholarly journals

In this paper we analyze peer review evaluations for scholarly journal as power mechanisms. To reach this aim we propose that what is in fact published represents viability, reliability and adaptability in relation to scientific knowledge (and their believes, values and traditions). However, when pa...

Peer review evaluation; power; social vulnerability; academic publishing Evaluación de pares; poder; vulnerabilidad social; publicaciones académicas In this paper we analyze peer review evaluations for scholarly journal as power mechanisms. To reach this aim we propose that what is in fact published represents viability, reliability and adaptability in relation to scientific knowledge (and their believes, values and traditions). However, when participation mechanisms are not clear or are manipulated to favor some participants, such intellectual traditions are violated. Our analysis focuses is some mechanisms, so it leaves aside other knowledge and practices of authors and peer-reviewers. Even so, we believe this exercise is worthy given the scientific authority conferred to knowledge defined as publishable, not only because this is how knowledge fields are produced, but also because this creates cultural practices for science production participants as well as for the societies that are informed by this knowledge. El presente ensayo analiza las evaluaciones de pares en revistas científicas como mecanismos de poder. A partir de este objetivo se establece que lo que sí se publica representa lo que es viable, confiable y que se adapta a los cánones o conocimientos (creencias, valores y tradiciones) científicos. Sin embargo, cuando los mecanismos de participación no son claros o se manipulan a favor de algunos participantes, vulneran estas tradiciones intelectuales. Este análisis sólo se concentra en algunos mecanismos, por lo que deja de lado otros saberes y prácticas de autores y evaluadores. Se considera que este ejercicio es valioso dado el alcance del tema o la autoridad científica que se otorga a los contenidos que se definen como publicables, pues no sólo construyen los campos de conocimientos, también fundan prácticas culturales de los actores de la ciencia y de las sociedades que se alimentan de estos saberes.
