Reviewer gets files, disappears

We recently secured a reviewer on a niche piece with few potential reviewers. While our journal does not have a policy on DA-RT (for reasons of this forum) this particular piece was database-focused. When the reviewer requested all of the prior materials, referencing DA-RT, we contacted the author a...

Practical problems in the field

Real-existing fieldwork would have trouble with some of the bureaucratic requirements outlined by the DA-RT initiative.
