I had to contact, in the past, a young author to improve the redaction of his paper, the result deserved to be published but the paper was a little bit messy. I found a way to do. My point is that it everyone in this situation may find his way, according to some elementary rules of deontology. It may be not necessary to formalize that in the process of referee, I am afraid that it will complicate a rather simple process, we are used to, without a real gain. But this is just my opinion :) | |

It may be also because you are not the right person to refer the paper, just send it back. That is my way ;) | |

| Jan 2, 2011 at 22:25 | comment | added | Igor Belegradek | I only said that my job as a referee would be much easier if I could ask questions with no hassle. Currently, I often do not ask questions because this is complicated, and involves troubling busy people. As a result I waste a lot of time. The existing system surely works, but it does so at the expense of people like me. | |
