Abstract:
In 1999 AARE introduced an optional full paper academic peer refereeing opportunity for members’ conference papers. The scheme has been operated since introduction by AARE Office except for the year 2000 [Sydney Conference]. In that time [eight years] approximately 2000 full text papers have been refereed by approximately 6000 peer referees. This paper details the procedures used for operating the scheme, including selection of referees, maintenance of confidentiality and the academic authority embodied in the scheme. The paper concludes with a discussion of the performance of referees in the system and raises issues regarding the effectiveness of refereeing in ensuring high quality research work.
