Re-Imagining Peer Review Survey
The CELJ Re-Imagining Peer Review survey examines various systems of peer review currently in use in humanities and humanistically oriented social sciences (HSS) journal publishing. The goal of the survey is to uncover current challenges and possible improvements to peer review processes by those most involved in the scholarly H/HSS publishing process (e.g., authors, editors, reviewers, and publishers).
This survey is distributed by CELJ, the board members of which serve as the project team for this study. Funding for the survey comes from The Mellon Foundation as a part of a larger study CELJ is conducting on peer review.
Anonymized data will inform a Spring 2026 open-access report on peer review in H/HSS journal publishing, accompanied by the aggregate survey dataset. The findings will also guide free workshops for H/HSS stakeholders to promote better labor practices, diversity, inclusion, and mentoring in peer review.
