The Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ; celj.org) is conducting a survey on journal-based peer review in the humanities and humanistically oriented social sciences (HSS). This survey, funded by the Mellon Foundation, is meant to establish a better understanding of how H/HSS journal publishing stakeholders view different peer-review models and methods and to gauge their experiences with anti-racism, diversity, and inclusion efforts in peer-review processes. This information will be made public in a report based on the data set and used to inform a series of workshops to follow.
Participants can take the survey from whichever role they most identify with-author, reviewer, editor, or publisher. The surveys differ for each role. Respondents in the US who complete the survey will be compensated with a $50 gift certificate to Bookshop.org. Respondents outside the US will receive an equivalent gift certificate.
To participate in the survey, go to https://surveymonkey.com/r/celj-peer-review-survey.
If you have questions or would like more information about the survey, please visit the survey info website at https://www.celj.org/peer-review-survey or email the project director, Cheryl E. Ball, at celj.editors@gmail.com.
