árbritro (contexto académico)

Non-PRO español al inglés Ciencias Ciencias (general) Academia
Hello, I am translating a document for an important science and technology consortium in Mexico. It is an invitation for the submission of scholarly journals to be considered for approval to be added to the consortium's index of science and technology journals. The "árbitros" decide which of these are to be approved. It also seems that they examine individual articles within their speciality to see if they are fit for approval.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (2): Neil Ashby, barbarameyer

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I like "peer reviewers" since it preserves the connection between "árbitro" and "arbitraje" (which clearly refers to "peer review" in this case) that is so central to much of my document.

'Refereed materials are publications reviewed by "expert readers" or referees prior to the publication of the material.'

Explanation A journal can have a permanent editorial board. For the individual members, I'm OK with 'reviewers' or 'peer reviewers'; I won't insist on 'peers'. They can also be called 'members of the editorial board.' Sometimes a journal will publish the proceedings of a conference, in which case the 'Program Committee' will have previously vetted the submissions.
I'm basing these terms on my experience as: (1) editor-in-chief of a peer-reviewed journal; (2) author of peer-reviewed articles; (3) service on multiple editorial boards; (4) organizer of conferences the proceedings of which ended up in journals.

'Jury' is for art exhibitions. 'Referees' review grant proposals.

Dec 12, 2013 - Are scholarly and peer-reviewed articles the same thing? Peer-reviewed and scholarly journals are related but not identical. Not all scholarly journals go through the peer-review process. However, one can assume that a peer-reviewed journal is scholarly. How can I tell if an article is a peer-reviewed article

They're also called 'reviewers' and 'peer reviewers'.

The group of peers is called an 'editorial board' when it's a permanent committee.
Note from asker:
I am very familiar with this expression, but it did not occur to me to relate it to the document I am translating. I will definitely look it over with this new possibility in mind. Thanks Muriel!
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : Peer reviewing, yes, but that doesn't mean they're called peers.

Well, I beg to differ. I've been a peer/reviewer, and had a number of my articles accepted in peer-reviewed journals.
neutral Frank Gerace : the "referees", "jury"' etc. are peers, but are not called peers

disagree Muriel Vasconcellos : You have juries in art exhibitions, but not for journals. I've had a lot of experience on editorial boards, which is what they're called when it's a permanent committee for a journal.r
