Peer Review Process

The following is to inform about the peer review procedure for the 2006 Berlin Conference on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change “Resource Policies: Effectiveness, Efficiency, and Equity”. We publish this information to increase transparency in the selection process for the series of Berlin Conferences.

  1. For the 2006 Berlin Conference, 235 abstracts, fairly balanced across continents, were submitted on time.
  2. All abstracts have been fully anonymised and submitted to independent peer review by a panel of 32 international experts in the field of environmental policy research and resource policies.
  3. Members of the review panel were requested to evaluate the scientific quality and novelty of the abstract as well as its fit to the theme of the 2006 Berlin Conference as outlined in the call for papers.
  4. The size of the review panel allowed for each abstract to be reviewed by 3-4 experts. Abstracts have been allotted to reviewers on a random basis.
  5. The reviewers have ranked all abstracts on a scale of 1-5. On this basis, we have calculated average grades for each abstract.
  6. Papers with a ranking of 3.0 or higher have been invited for presentation at the 2006 Berlin Conference. These were 154 paper proposals, slightly more than the “target” number of presentations at the Berlin Conferences (around 120 papers per event).

The review process has been co-ordinated by Henrik Vagt (FU Berlin) and Andreas Keller (DIW Berlin). The list of all members of the review panel can be found below.
