Academic Blog

Academic Blog for the St Andrews Journal of International and Language Education (SAJILE) – the online journal hosted by the International Education and Lifelong Learning Institute (IELLI), University of St Andrews, co-run by students and academic staff.

Posts are uploaded by the blog editor, but are the work of the author. View all posts, submit new post ideas to our OJS portal, learn about our review process, or browse by theme:

Post-Publication, Open Peer Review?

A post-publication, open peer review model is used for the Academic Blog. “Post-publication” means that peer review will take place after the submission is published. In other words, all submissions, after a preliminary check on format and originality, will be published immediately. Once the submission is published, at least two peer reviewers will be invited to provide comments on the submission. “Open” refers to the fact that the identities of the authors and the peer reviewers will be known, and the peer-review comments will be posted alongside the blog post, viewable by the public. Other members of the public can also serve as “peer reviewers” by providing additional feedback on the blog post. Only comments approved by the editors will be posted to ensure professional etiquette is observed. Upon receiving the comments from the peer reviewers, authors will be notified by the editor. They will be asked to revise their blog posts based on the comments and submit a revised and post-review version to be published alongside the original version and the peerreview comments. While the original submission of the blog post will be published on the blog website, the revised blog post will be published in a volume of the journal.
