Today kicks off #PeerReviewWeek 2024 and we are jazzed to celebrate this cornerstone of scholarly publishing and knowledge production.

We’ve gathered some of our favorite resources for building a more feminist peer review system that honors the racially gendered labor of this important practice.

The journal I'm guest editing for doesn't do the decision-paralysis-inducing major and minor revisions anymore. Recently there's only 'revise' -- everything feels immediately 300% lighter and fluffier.

I received an email from #Clarivate that a reviewer of an article I handled would like feedback on their #PeerReview.

I am usually inclined to support development, but I cannot find out how the data I provide are going to be used.

I am asked for quantitative ratings (clarity, helpfulness etc) which won't be shared with the reviewer. And I can provide written comments, which will be shared.

Anyone experience to share?
