I'd suggest though, that they read much wider than the journal(s) they review for. Published research that they have not reviewed may well prompt a valid, relevant and constructive comment.

Who would dare review a paper that has a "big name" author? If an author lambasts a review, what right of response would the reviewer have? The only thing I can see in this approach is a sharp decline in willingness to review, or a sharp rise in litigation.

> The information systems discipline is dynamic, with developments which often outpace the normal publishing programme of a journal. AJIS is interested in developing the discipline and encouraging constructive discussion leading to the strengthening of ideas and argument. Accordingly, AJIS invites short reviews (no more than 1,000 words) of papers it has published, subject to the following guidelines:
> 1. All reviews must be signed and will be attributed 2. All reviews should address a substantive issue on a recently published paper 3. A submitted review will be sent to the corresponding author of that paper for a response to the review, which will be published simultaneously 4. If the corresponding author declines to respond, a note to that effect will appear with the review
