Abstract

Typically, editors' decisions regarding the publishability of research and scholarly knowledge are based on reviews by persons who make professional judgments about the quality of work before them. While peer review has been examined through many frames of meaning, this article develops an approach to understanding the process through aesthetic theory. It is argued that the "ideal" review embodies levels of engagement, various foci, and different dimensions. The framework is applied to actual manuscript reviews and research, and professional suggestions are developed as they pertain to the shape of our professional judgment.
