Abstract
Research and publication are important to today 's teacher-scholar. Gettingpublished in refereed journals is considered by many the surest way to tenure and promotion. Peer review has not been a popular area of study, but, increasingly, questions are being raised about current peer review practices in a variety of disciplines, including mass communication. This study examines peer review practices in mass communication. Results indicate that both researchers and referees have mixed feelings about peer review and about specific journals, but that they are dissatisfied with particular philosophies that underlie scholarship in the discipline.
