A competency interview (also referred to as a situational, behavioural or competency based interview) is a style of interviewing often used to evaluate a candidate's competence, particularly when it is hard to select on the basis of technical merit: for example, for a particular graduate scheme or graduate job where relevant experience is less important or not required. However, increasingly, companies are using competency based interviews as part of the selection process for experienced recruitment, as it can give valuable insights into an individual's preferred style of working and help predict behaviours in future situations.

The highest ranking journals, by citation and by consensus, maintain their reputation for publishing the most original and impactful research by excluding the vast majority of papers submitted. Only the crème de la crème are able to satisfy the exacting demands of the editors and reviewers of tier 1 journals, and in this way papers that do not meet the very highest standards, either as a result of calculation or previous rejection, come to be submitted to lower tier journals.
