Call for Reviewers

Mar 25, 2007 10:32

cross-posted to a couple of places - sorry if it crosses your path more than once!

We are particularly looking for post-grads, recent post-grads and post-docs. I'm hoping that this is ok, but moderators, please delete this if you believe it is inappropriate.

CALL FOR REVIEWERS


eSharp is an electronic journal for postgraduates in the social sciences, humanities, arts and education.

We are looking for post-graduate students (or recent post-docs) with an interest in reading and commenting on papers. All submissions to eSharp are subjected to a thorough peer-review process, both to ensure the quality of the publication and to help students develop their research and writing skills. The number of submissions is rising with each issue of the journal, increasing our need for peer-reviewers from all disciplines. We make every effort to match the paper topic with your stated interests, which means that you are not inundated with frequent demands from eSharp. Furthermore, we offer support and, where possible, training to all our peer-reviewers. This is an excellent opportunity for you to get valuable experience in academic publishing, and to be a part of a growing international postgraduate community.

Based at the University of Glasgow, eSharp has published contributions from around the world in a wide range of disciplines. The key aim of eSharp is to open the door into academic research and publishing for postgraduate students. We strive not only to encourage high-quality research and writing through peer-reviewed publication, but also seek to foster interdisciplinary- and international-exchange. Furthermore, eSharp provides opportunities for postgraduates to improve their skills and employability by offering experience in peer-reviewing, editing and journal management.

Our current call for papers has just passed, and we need more reviewers to join our team. If you are keen to learn more, please send an email to sharp@arts.gla.ac.uk stating your name, level of study, and institution of affiliation. Be sure to state your areas of expertise and interest and attach a brief academic CV.

Please note: while we always need reviewers in all fields, at the moment I could really use people with interests in gender AND any of the following: crime, masculinity, queer theory, Judith Butler, Freud, British Pop music, rock music, crime fiction, transvestism, medicine, and science.

EDIT: Our fall issue is going to be tied to the theme of oral history (the CfP has not yet been drafted, but will be sent to the CfP community when it has been) - if you have interests along those lines and might be keen to peer review in the autumn, please also drop me a note!

Please contact me directly at: [artseditor at esharp dot org dot uk] if you can help with any of the above topics.
