ACRL’s Publications in Librarianship
(PIL) series—a peer-reviewed collection of books that examine emerging theories
and research—is launching its first open peer review, for Stories of Open: Opening Peer Review
through Narrative Inquiry by Emily Ford.
“Open access, open data, open science,
and other ‘open’ initiatives bring democratization and transparency to
scholarly publishing and access to information,” said PIL Editor Daniel C.
Mack. “Rather than limiting the assessment and evaluation of research to a
single editor or editorial board, open peer review empowers the entire
community of scholars to participate in the review process. Stories of Open presents
readers with a thought-provoking introduction to open peer review; we couldn’t
imagine a better manuscript for our pilot open review.”
The manuscript is open for comment
through Monday, March 23, 2020. It is available for review in two places, and
we welcome and encourage your participation: First, via Google documents here,
where participants will need to use their Google account and request access at
the top left before commenting. Doing so means agreeing to the reviewer’s code
of conduct. A PDF version of
the manuscript is available for review on the ACRL site.
Comments should be sent to Daniel C. Mack at dmack@umd.edu.
Stories of Open is expected to publish in early 2021. Previous PIL books can be
found in the ALA Store;
information on publishing in the series is here.
Questions on the review, process, or publishing with ACRL can be sent to ACRL
Content Strategist Erin Nevius at enevius@ala.org.
