摘要：This paper proposes a conceptual framework for the comparative analysis of the role of scholarly editors as gatekeepers of academic knowledge. It points out that the existing literatureʼs almost-exclusive focus on the North American context could hamper a finer-grained analysis of the role of scholarly editors as important cultural intermediaries. For a fuller analysis, one would need to adopt a comparative perspective and must disentangle different and often conflicting meanings included in the gatekeeper concept so as to make a clearer distinction between the social functions and occupational roles of editors.
