English Chair Katherine Rowe is extensively quoted in this front-page New York Times article about a growing movement toward a more open peer review process that uses online “crowd-sourcing.”
Rowe has guest-edited a special edition of Shakespeare Quarterly, scheduled for publication this fall, that will feature several articles first posted at mediacommonspress. Rowe invited about 90 scholars to participate in the open review, and all readers willing to post thoughts under their own names could comment on the articles as well.
The revised essays will appear in the printed edition of Shakespeare Quarterly on Sept. 17.
