	Peer review - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Referees are supposed to inform the editor of any conflict of interests that might arise.
		Recruiting referees is a political art, because referees are not paid, and reviewing takes time away from the referee's main activities, such as his or her own research.
		In scientific circles, credentials and reputation are important, and while being a referee for a prestigious journal is considered an honor, the anonymity restrictions make it impossible to publicly state that one was a referee for a particular article.

	[No title]
		The Chief Referee shall then stop the match, indicate to the offending player to correct their grip, and shall invalidate the violator's DATOTSU as long as the wrong grip is being used.
		When a referee changes their the mind about a call, they shall indicate it by crossing their two flags with their hands stretched downward; the red flag is placed on the white without a waving motion.
		Alternating of referees without moving across the court shall be made when a replacement enters from the side of the court next to the referee.

	Refereeing - Why?
		Referees Societies have Monthly Meetings throughout the season where aspects of Law and refereeing management are discussed.
		Referee Societies and the Referee Department are trying to improve communications to reduce the feeling that you are alone.
		As a Referee concentrating on the match, you tend not to hear it at all.

	REFEREEING TRAINING PROGRAMME (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		I feel that this approach to coaching would also be successful with referees and put forward a presentation of my proposals to the Commission who gave their approval and asked me to implement the system in a training programme.
		Referees will then be observed by a member of the designated coaching team during the competition and one, or perhaps two, areas identified where it is felt that the referee can improve his or her performance.
		Using this coaching method, the referee is therefore being measured against his own past performance and encouraged to make a continuous improvement in his refereeing standards.

	British Kendo Association (BKA) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Referees are engaged in shiai as much as the combatants.
		So the policy change is based upon (i) the premise that high-grade kendoka should add refereeing knowledge and skill to their repertoire of kendo and (ii) that from this base more people will develop this part of their kendo up to national and international level.
		The endorsements for both refereeing and seminar attendance will be given to people immediately after the event in such a form as can be entered into their ‘Blue’ book and can be presented as evidence to the grading officer when they apply to take their specific grading.

	TheFA.com - Three Lions on Your Shirt
		Referees perform a vital role in the game, and with the growth in the popularity of football, particularly for women and children, the demand for match officials is increasing.
		Our goal is to recruit 10,000 referees a year to ensure that, in future, every game has a qualified official who is receiving regular training and support from an FA mentor programme and helpline.
		And because it takes time for a referee to reach the top, The FA is particularly keen to recruit young people between 18 and 25 years old, with the dream of refereeing an FA Cup Final and wearing the famous Three Lions on their shirt.

		A group of young referees are invited to Switzerland and given a mentor, usually a vastly experienced former official, who can provide the young official with guidance over the next year.
		The baton was then handed to Lars-Ake Björck, a vice-chairman of the Referees' Committee, who explained the concepts, objectives and guidelines of previous programmes, stressing that the talents and mentors project has enabled previous participants to fast-track their way to success.
		UEFA's head of refereeing, Yvan Cornu, who confirmed the category three and four referees will have an extra three games and a mini-tournament added to their calendar, believes the project is vital for the future of refereeing.

	Refereeing
		I started refereeing in 1978, mostly because it was a condition of playing at local events that you referee the match after the one you played.
		Players want consistency, and usually try the referee on in the first game, so that they know what is going to be a let, and what is going to be a stroke.
		To be considered for WR/IR appointment, a referee must have achieved the top level in his or her own country and be nominated by the National Association.

		The task of the referee is to make a critical evaluation of the submitted paper and an explicit recommendation to accept or reject the paper for publication.
		In many cases, referees recommend acceptance (or re-evaluation) subject to a revision, and provide explicit guidelines for the author(s) to follow.
		Referees are not supposed to communicate directly with the authors.

	IP&M Refereeing process
		Refereeing is a peer review process designed to help with rapid acceptance of good papers, improvement of salvageable ones and rejection of poor ones.
		The referee is asked to state in the comments to the author clearly, but kindly, the reasons for not accepting the manuscript, possibly including suggestions for future actions.
		In addition, the referees are asked to indicate their recommendation for priority for publishing on a five point scale from low to high priority.

	Fact Sheet 15: Sir Norman Chester Centre for Football Research: University of Leicester
		Referee Phil Richards was attacked and felled by a fan 15 minutes from the end of match following the sending off of a home player and the allowing of a controversial last minute winning goal for the visitors.
		Most top referees disagreed, in fact, that they could be any more 'professional' in their approach to the game than they currently have to be and that being paid 'full time' would allow.
		Referees who favour this mode of approach to officiating are not too concerned about the 'industrial' language (swearing) of players, use humour to defuse combustible situations, prize their masculine 'insider' status, and also their unobtrusive and 'egalitarian' rapport with players.

	Telegraph \| Sport \| Korean miracle spoilt by refereeing farce
		FIFA are asking a global audience to accept that human error was to blame for Spain having two legitimate goals disallowed in a match that was an affront to sport.
		This renders it anti-meritocratic and elevates obscure officials who may be more eager to impress or please their employers than, say, an elite European referee.
		What's not normal is to have the outcome of a multi-million pound sporting event determined by a series of abject and baffling decisions which render the final score a travesty.

	AJL: Refereeing
		If the referee cannot referee the manuscript in this timeframe (academics are busy people, so this isn’t guaranteed), the editor both asks the referee for an alternate deadline, and contacts other potential referees, so as to minimise the time the manuscript is being refereed.
		The referees will write their reports on the paper, judging its compliance with the aims of the journal, and send them back to the editor by email.
		This refereeing form is designed to make both your task as a referee and our task as editors less painful, and to give the author helpful feedback on her or his paper.

		The attendance of 23 Euroleague teams, represented for the most part by their head coaches, and of 24 more coaches from the clubs who will take part in the third edition of the ULEB Cup, confirms the high level of interest in these meetings, which both parties consider very useful.
		As always, the refereeing department prepared a video that illustrated the most difficult officiating situations from the last season.
		Their analysis worked to clarify the decisions made, to form a consensus on the criteria, and to discuss the future cooperation between coaches and referees during the upcoming season.

	The Role of Refereeing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The spectrum of activities that is called ``refereeing" or peer review is still a necessity, perhaps more so than ever given the ``fire-hose" quantities of raw information that the Web can deliver.
		Instead of creating software tools or mechanisms for refereeing, we provided interested and capable readers who peer reviewed in the traditional manner except that they were known to the authors and worked directly with them to improve the papers.
		It is clear that this was a satisfactory way of preparing such conference proceedings but is also clear that it is not a feasible approach for most forms of publication.

		To this day, the outcome of that game is blamed on a series of refereeing misjudgements, so the recent appointment of JosÃ© MarÃa GarcÃa-Aranda as FIFA's head of refereeing is seen as a positive development on the Iberian Peninsula.
		He is also quick to point out that his appointment does not mean referees will change their attitude towards his country: "Spain will not be given any preferential treatment.
		Garcia-Aranda is all too aware that his task is no easy one, particularly after the criticism levelled at referees for their performances in Korea/Japan.

	Cochrane Collaboration - internal and external refereeing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Most CRGs distinguish between internal and external refereeing, with internal refereeing being undertaken by members of the editorial team such as the Coordinating Editor and/or Contact Editor, as well as specialists in content, methodology, statistics, and copyediting.
		External refereeing is undertaken ‘external’ to the editorial base, by people with expertise in review content and methodology, as well as people with particular focus on issues such as statistics or consumer advocacy.
		The level of involvement of the internal referees is generally a deciding factor in this process (the more intensive the editing from internal referees, the more likely they will see the review before external referees).

		Video replays showed that the referee and one of the two judges gave an effective point for the Frenchman.
		But the other judge signalled that it was a perfect knockout "ippon" win for the Japanese with a difficult technique known as uchimata sukashi, or a counter to an inner-thigh throw.

	JoBS: The Effect of Bad Refereeing
		In reality, given no mistakes by referees, I was simulating that Team A had a 70% chance of winning.
		For this case, the winning percentage of Team A should still be 70%, but their actual winning percentage drops to 65% due to referee errors.
		Over the course of an 82 game NBA season, this means that a team like the 1996 Los Angeles Lakers (which had a winning percentage of about 65%) could blame three or four of their losses on bad reffing -- if NBA reffing is really that bad, which I doubt.

		And of course, if they have the authority of a coach's jacket or hat, they not only become irate, but they may even take it upon themselves to let the official know exactly what they think of him (or her).
		After being involved in refereeing since 1964, through thousands of games refereed, watched and assessed, and through countless classes instructed, I have to say that the most difficult part of refereeing is knowing what infractions to call, and what ones to let go.

	Introduction to Refereeing
		As a beginning referee you will be exposed to a variety of matches and situations including handling the lower sides of First division clubs where there will be senior refs to watch you and provide some support and advice, as well as many games where you will be the only referee present.
		Without intimidating you, it is important to understand that as a referee out on the pitch you are very much in control of, and responsible for, the match that is being played.
		It is important for the referee to establish control of the match early on.
