UPDATE: We paused the survey because over 3,000 scammers screwed it up for the rest of us. We are manually reviewing the responses to ensure legitimate respondents get through. This will take some time. We are adding security measures before we re-open the survey. Thanks for your patience!

If you value having access to healthcare at all, it was made possible by research currently being censored by the US government. Sign this Declaration to Defend Research and pass long! @celj.bsky.social @kairosdoug.bsky.social @kairosrtp.bsky.social

Do you have things to say and/or questions you want asked about peer review in the humanities? Contribute questions or topics (rough or ready) to CELJ's form as they prepare a wide-scale survey on peer review in humanities journal publishing that includes a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion!
