Share your lived experience of peer review in LIS
Seeking any and all stories from LIS professionals and students about peer review. If you’re an author, a referee, an editor, or even someone who hasn’t done these things but wants to, I want to hear your experience and to share it with our LIS community. When we share our lived experiences with others, we create dialogue and we can begin to reflect as a community about this important publishing process.
· What was it like to have your work undergo peer review for the first time?
· How did peer review improve your work?
· How did you learn to referee?
· How do you approach requests to referee works? What is your refereeing philosophy?
· Have you participated in open peer review? What was it like?
· What other experiences have you had with peer review?
No story is too big or too small, and no experience is insignificant. Your participation consists of a synchronous online interview and a brief review of your story before it is published on the Stories of Open website.
This project builds upon the work of a forthcoming book from ACRL Press, Stories of Open: Opening peer review through narrative inquiry, as well as work presented in Tell Me YourStory: Narrative inquiry in LIS research, an article in the March 2020 issue of College & Research Libraries.
Interested in sharing your story? Please email Emily Ford (forder@pdx.edu).
Funding for this project has been provided by a Portland State University Faculty Development Grant.
