Criticism on the referee system —and of course of the referees—also filters through all too often to the editorial office of Angewandte Chemie . So we were glad when in 1990 H.‐D. Daniel received permission from the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker to examine our referee system under the auspices of the priority program “Research on Science” of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Of course, strict anonymity for authors and referees was observed. A concise selection of the results that will nevertheless provide much material for discussion in presented here. [The results will appear in full in summer in a book published by VCH.]
