摘要：Far from being perfect, the peer-review process is nevertheless
the most effective way to assure the quality of a
publication. Because they have used peer review from
their very beginnings, American Antiquity (AAQ) and Latin
American Antiquity (LAQ) are journals of high academic impact
with strong reputations in the world academic community. The
peer-review process seeks not only to identify the highest-quality
manuscripts, but also works to improve the clarity of presentation
of any author. The process is based on four fundamental
principles: the importance of the diffusion of knowledge, the
assurance of the preservation of knowledge in different media,
the maintenance of control over the quality of knowledge that is
disseminated, and the proper crediting to investigators and
their discoveries and scientific contributions. Taken together,
these principles maintain the excellence of scientific knowledge
in any field (Meadows 1974; Ravetz 1973; Ziman 1968).
