Contents of This Document
The following is excerpted from the manuscript:
The Referee's Form is designed to help referees communicate more clearly
with Editors. It is not intended to replace the formal written
report, but is intended as a clear, concise synopsis.
The LaTeX source file for the form
also includes space for the referee to provide
his or her formal report, and
is available by anonymous ftp.
To use it, referees can copy the form and check one response
in each of the subsections.
The first page of the form is for the Editor's eyes only, but
the second page is intended to be forwarded to the author.
An on-line copy of the latest version of the referee's form is available.

Referee's Form in pdf format, updated 2007. This version of the
form is completely electronic. It can be filled in online and emailed to the Editor.
