Abstract

Can authors, especially aspiring authors whose work is not already well-known, trust the reviews they receive from major journals? Can they trust that editors will act fairly towards them? These are crucial questions that speak to the trustworthiness of a field and the sources of its scholarly development. In this chapter we will discuss why editorial trustworthiness is so important and what it means in practice. We will attempt to provide some reassurance for aspiring authors that their submissions will often be read by people who care about both their manuscript and the larger field towards which it may contribute. Finally, we will suggest some ways that authors can signal that the work they submit is trustworthy.
