The paper is already supposed to be vetted for correctness by the journal where it was accepted and published. It's not the job of a Zentralblatt reviewer to do that again, they are only supposed to provide an accurate and informative summary of the content of the paper. | |

If one gets a paper claiming a significant progress toward the Riemann conjecture one absolutely has a responsibility to spend more than two weeks reviewing it. The present carelessness of referees and of reviewers is so big a problem that being mainstream means being irresponsible. I think we should pressure on journals and reveiwing services to be more considerate in allowing additional time, when needed. I had pretty bad experience with services in few cases in which I was slightly late. | |

| Feb 8, 2010 at 7:46 | comment | added | Kevin Buzzard | I wrote my first Math Review (MathSciNet) review when I was a grad student. Here's my advice: do it, but don't spend too much time on it. Remember that some reviews are of the form "copy out the first para of the article", and it would be good if you did better than that, but definitely don't spend 2 weeks worrying about a review before writing it, and then another 2 weeks writing it! | |
