> Doing things […] on their behalf We train grad students to do reviews by having them do reviews under close supervision, yes. You say it like it’s a bad thin

  Well when I did the reviewing for my PI I rarely got close supervision :) It was more like, 'here's my review', followed by 'I sent it on thanks'

  Well it would be one thing if the editor of the journal asked for the grad student to be the reviewer but they asked the PI. Seems a little disingenuous for the PI to pass off that effort as their own. Plus it no doubt takes time away from the grad students other responsibilities.

    Most journals that I know require the actual reviewer to be named. Usually it's phrased as "someone who assisted in writing the review." Someone could lie I guess but I'm not sure what they'd get out of that and at that point it would be outright fraud.

      Its not named for the public, but the editor specifically looks for certain reviewers who are qualified to comment on the work at hand. They don't just grab random people they look for specific people. And if they are getting a bait and switch out of it instead, well, that's not really honest to the editors efforts trying to get a quality peer review for their journal.
