context1: Finally, anonymity adds to the difficulty in finding reviewers in another way. In scientific circles, credentials and reputation are important, and while being a referee for a prestigious <strong>journal</strong> is considered an honor, the anonymity restrictions make it impossible to publicly state that one was a referee for a particular <strong>article</strong>. However, credentials and reputation are principally established by publications, not by refereeing; and in some fields refereeing may not be anonymous.
context2: ATLA also issues various bibliographic resources, indexes to periodicals, multi-author works, and book reviews in religion. These include the ATLA Religion Database, and ATLA Serials (ATLAS), a collection of major religion and theology <strong>journals</strong>, launched in 2001. ATLAS has fully digitized <strong>article</strong> text going back to 1949.
