Introduction to Peer Review for Authors of Academic Monographs Online
Peer review is at the heart of academic publishing. It is also a high-stakes process for early-career scholars, who will benefit from an inside perspective on the goals, standards, sequence of events, and folkways of peer review for academic monographs. In this workshop graduate students will be walked through peer review from the submission of materials to book contract. Differences between peer review for journal articles and monographs will be addressed and disciplinary variations will be considered. Handouts/take-away files will be distributed.
