To celebrate #PeerReviewWeek2024 the UCL Press journals team have been asking what #PeerReview means to them. In our final post, Sunbul Akhtar catches up with Bill Booth, co-editor of the #OpenAccess journal Radical Americas (RA). In this Q&A Bill provides an insight to the processes involved in securing reviewer comments, and offers advice to early career researchers on how to get involved in the scholarly publishing community. This Q&A is an insightful read about a function of academic publishing that has become a cornerstone of research integrity. Bill provides some great advice for reviewers to consider: ‘Think about context – the journal, the field, the topic - and not solely about content, though of course that is very important! Empathise – we expect and welcome critique, and good scholarship depends on it, but it is best framed in a constructive and actionable manner. Contribute – bring your own suggestions and use your expertise to help shape the process of scholarly publication!’ Read more: https://ow.ly/Pxc250Tv3gT
