– not cascading peer review – “Sage Open will accept articles solely on the basis of the quality of the research, evaluating the scientific and research methods of
each article for validity” • (see the scholarly kitchen on SAGE Open)
Assessment 1: ‘conventional’ peer review; statements from journals
Ljubljana seminar: Scholarly Publishing 21
iCS: Published articles in iCS have all been subjected to rigorous peer review comprising initial editorial screening and anonymous refereeing by at least two referees.
TIS: Your article will be previewed in the editorial office for its quality and suitability for publication in The Information Society (TIS). If your article appears to be a work that our readers would be eager to read, it will be sent to an Associate Editor who belongs to TIS' editorial board to manage the review.
NM&S: operates a strictly anonymous peer review process.
All articles in Digital Journalism have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymised refereeing by two anonymous referees.
POQ: All manuscripts are reviewed anonymously. The review process is ordinarily completed within 3 months.
SAGE Open: Each article undergoes a rigorous double-blind peer review process, in which the reviewer and author’s names and information is withheld from the other. The approach of SAGE Open's peer review process, however, differs from that of traditional journals. Rather than assessing the relative 'importance' of a given article to its respective field, peer review will instead focus solely on determining the quality of research methodology,… determining whether the research was conducted properly, the discussion accurately summarizes the research, and the conclusion follows logically from the research.
JCMC: Please remove all author names and institutional information from manuscripts, so as to enable blinded peer review.

AEJMC-Peter Lang Scholarsourcing Series
• Scholarsourcing is a joint publishing initiative between the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC) and Peter Lang publishing.
• The series re-imagines the way that scholarly books are proposed, peer-reviewed, and approved for contract during this time of relentless change in both the journalism and publishing industries.
• Proposals are uploaded to an online public platform that allows as many AEJMC members as possible to browse, review, and then vote on and pledge support.
• The authors of the top proposals are invited to submit complete book proposals. Once those reviews have been evaluated by the editorial committee and the publisher, a decision on which proposals receive contracts is made.
“Theory, Culture & Society is a highly ranked, high impact factor, rigorously peer reviewed journal that publishes original research and review articles in the social and cultural sciences.”
