[Corpora-List] Corpus of journal reviewers' language-related comments or annotations?

Hi,
Could this message please go out to the list?

Subject: Corpus of journal reviewers' language-related comments or annotations?

I am interested in finding a corpus of journal reviewers' comments on submitters' language issues (grammar errors, style)  - preferably where these are electronically interpsersed, though scanned hard copy annotated scripts are also useful. I am assuming most would be on NNS submissions, and would be interested in differentiation by L1 if available.
Does anyone know where I can find such a corpus?

Nigel Bruce

Hi,

being both a woman and a young researcher, too^^, I also would like to comment on Ramesh's proposal. I am not sure that there are not more subtle ways for creating transparency (many were proposed in the LREC discussion). However, mystifying publication politics without acknowledging that rejection, in science as in any other area of life, happens to everybody, may actually create the illusion that "everybody" is always successful and thus enhance pressure on researchers (whatever gender and age they may have). I personally feel that science is quite a competitive area and there's no shame in publicly announcing results (as is common practice in sports or music competitions). And why should there be no possibility of improvement for those who failed to meet the standards in their first attempt?
However, other people may still think differently and be afraid of public mention. To give an example, at least one of my fellow students said she was too afraid to post to this list. And there are, in general, not many PhD students participating in discussions here. This speaks in favour of maintaining privacy.
