I am excited that my submission at JOSE (Journal of Open Science Education; https://jose.theoj.org/) has now been assigned an editor and a first reviewer! 🥳

🚨 We are still looking for a second reviewer: https://github.com/openjournals/jose-reviews/issues/347! 🚨

Would you like to review a tutorial on #Quarto for research (with a special focus on #humanities researchers with no programming background)? If so, sign up as a reviewer here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScll1kTfY3tcdL23TIv1pWXKuXUcnwrXk_bIl5fkLQnGbqb7A/viewform! This is a really different (and I personally think better!) reviewing experience than traditional academic publishing: reviews follow a checklist principle and reviewers' contributions are public.

🎓 Do you regularly support students, ERCs, journal club members, or other peer review practitioners?

#OpenPeerReview is a powerful tool for learning and teaching essential academic skills, like critical thinking and providing constructive feedback.

When they know their reports will be made public, referees make them longer, clearer, more informative, and more constructive in suggesting improvements. And btw, reports by women are better in these respects than reports by men.
