In our new "how can we help you?" thread, a reader asks:
A journal has invited me to comment on one of their recent articles, but advised that the draft I submit will not be editable except in minor ways. I assume this means I will not be receiving substantive feedback on it. In that case, should such a publication be listed as 'peer-reviewed' on my resume? I suspect that scholars familiar with the journal, which is the best in its subfield, would find it strange to see a publication in this venue listed as an 'Other Publication' or the like.
I'm not sure whether there's sufficient information in this query to tell one way or the other. For one thing, the OP doesn't seem sure whether they'll be receiving any substantive feedback. But for another, it's not clear whether the commentary will be subject to any kind of peer-review (e.g., by the editor) or simply published as received. Obviously, if it's the latter, it shouldn't be listed as peer-reviewed. So maybe the OP should just ask the editor?
What do readers think?
