We are currently seeking undergraduate peer reviewers for Young Scholars in Writing volume 22.

Who can serve as a student peer reviewer?

Any undergraduate student! This is a great opportunity to expose students to undergraduate research in writing studies and provides an opportunity to learn about the process of scholarly publishing.

 

What are the responsibilities of a YSW student peer reviewer?

Students serving as peer reviewers would receive a multimedia presentation to watch (approx 20 min) which covers the history of the journal and publication criteria. After reviewing this background information, peer reviewers will be assigned 1-2 manuscripts to review and provide feedback on. The review of each manuscript should take approximately 1-2 hours. Reviewers will receive manuscripts to review on April 18, 2024, and would need to have reviews completed by May 3, 2024.

You can learn more about being a Peer Reviewer here.

If you are interested in having students serve as peer reviewers for this volume, please share the above description along with the link to a peer review interest form (below) to any interested students. The deadline to sign up to be a student peer reviewer is April 5, 2024.
