Peer Reviewers, 3/20

You will have seen my previous post about the call for articles for the new CBAA journal. We are also looking for peer reviewers for the journal (see below). I noticed that the links got stripped out of my previous post for some reason. The journal's website can be found at http://journals.sfu.ca/cbaa/ (The site has not yet had any design applied to it, but all the information is accurate.)

Call for Peer Reviewers

The College Book Art Association (CBAA) welcomes applications to be a peer reviewer for its new academic journal, Openings: Studies in Book Art. The journal will maintain a database with the names and expertise of reviewers who will then be matched to articles as needed. Of special interest are reviewers from a wide range of fields that intersect with the study of book art: art history, graphic design, printmaking, digital media, poetry, literature, theater, library science, and other textual and/or visual disciplines.

The journal follows a double-blind review process so author and reviewer remain anonymous to each other. Peer reviewers are asked to evaluate the article and make publishing recommendations that will go to the editorial board for final decision. Peer reviewers will be contacted as needed (depending on submissions) and can decline particular assignments if their schedule would prevent timely completion of a review.

If you are interested in being considered for addition to this peer reviewer database, submit a short (1-2 paragraph) statement describing your qualifications and area(s) of expertise along with a CV to Elisabeth Long at journal@collegebookart.org

The editorial board will make decisions about peer reviewers based on their qualifications and their areas of expertise and will notify applicants when they are added to the database.
