The Inner World of Gatekeeping in Scholarly Publication cover

This edited book focuses on the certifiers of scientific knowledge, bringing together experts in a variety of areas in Applied Linguistics to address the complex topic of editing and reviewing in writing for scholarly publication. Drawing on insider perspectives, the authors bring to the fore personal histories, narratives and first-hand accounts of editors and reviewers and help paint a richer and more nuanced picture of the discourses, practices, experiences, success stories, failures, and challenges that frame and shape trajectories of both Anglophone and English as an additional language (EAL) scholars in adjudicating and accrediting academic output. This book will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, supervisors, writing mentors, early-career scholars and graduate students in a variety of fields. 

“Pejman Habibie … and Anna Kristina Hultgren (The Open University, United Kingdom) offer their own chapters and bring together the work of twelve additional contributors, primarily in the field of applied linguistics … . Although the contributors’ disciplinary perspectives align, the cultural diversity across the fourteen chapters adds remarkable depth to the work. … Readers from all fields in the humanities or social sciences should see in either book new—and less fraught—ways of conceptualizing editors as gatekeepers.” (Steven E. Gump, Journal of Scholarly Publishing, Vol. 55 (3), July, 2024)
