Anyway, I don't think the issue has a big effect on what I am trying to say in the answer: | |
| Jun 13, 2014 at 9:02 | comment | added | Kaveh | @Suresh, obviously papers are written for the readers for the academic community at large. However I think authors pay more attention to what reviewers expect. Of course reviewers are intended to represent the community, but in their role as reviewers they often have priorities which can be a bit different from the community at large. | |
