Dear Colleagues,
The 2023 Special Issue of The Peer Review on Enacting Linguistic Justice In/Through Writing Centers is seeking anonymous reviewers. We are especially looking for reviewers with expertise in translingualism (code-meshing), multimodality, incarcerated populations, international students, and race.
As a reviewer, you would only be asked to read and provide feedback on one piece (unless you are willing to review more). We are looking for comprehensive feedback in the form of a few paragraphs rather than detailed marginal comments, so we anticipate this will be a minimal time commitment. The Peer Review is a journal that seeks to mentor undergraduate, graduate, and early career faculty through the publishing process, and your work as a reviewer would greatly help to support these authors!
Manuscripts will be due to the editorial team on July 31st, 2023, and will be distributed to reviewers based on interests and expertise within 2 days of that deadline. Feedback to authors will be due by August 31st. Detailed guidelines for reviewers and a link to a Google form for submitting reviews will be sent to reviewers along with the manuscript.
Reviewers are critical in helping members of the editorial team make decisions about which submissions are accepted (with minor or major revisions) or rejected (an outcome we hope will be rare), and in helping us support writers in producing their best work in alignment with the special issue’s theme. Reviewers communicate directly with the editors regarding submissions they are given, and are not responsible for interacting with authors.
If you are interested in participating in this special issue as a reviewer, please fill out this Google Form by Friday, June 30th.
If you have any questions, please contact the editors at linguisticjusticetpr.
Thank you very much for considering!
Sincerely,
