hey,
I would need reply for the following 2 post from my classmates. Between 100-150 each reply. Any questions do not hesitate to contact me. Thx!
1- Veronica,
Many times electronic things may fail. They may make corrections electronically and lose everything that was done. If they also make corrections by hand on paper, they will have that to look back on and re read whenever, even if the electronic copy fails or does not fail. Some people prefer it since it is what they are used to and others just fear losing all their work. They like to have a hard copy to refer to.
2- Christina,
The peer review process may still be done manually for a couple different reasons. One is the writers may be old school and not want to change the way they do things. Also, this way they have a hard copy to prove it was their work and also they do not have to work about not being able to get to it due to computer downtime or it getting lost if something were to happen to the computer. Getting into someones computer is easy for some people these days so someone else may receive the work and then claim it as their own. Quality control can be better monitored if not done electronically. As technology rises because it could make the peer-review process much faster we will probably see more go through electronically than through standard mail.
