Peer-Review Process
The Dovetail peer-review panel members are at the forefront of creative and critical practice research and teaching across fields within the Arts & Humanities, expanding the scope of the journal to include all periods, genres and areas of expertise within literature, film, music, visual art, theatre, culture, performance based industries and new media. Multiple universities from the UK, Europe and at an international level, are currently supporting the exciting cross-disciplinary research at The Dovetail.
All submitted papers or work to The
Dovetail are
reviewed by qualified academic staff from
the peer-review panel list. All reviews are blind: the name and details
of
the reviewer and potential contributor are unknown to either. If a
guest peer-reviewer or editor is invited to report on a paper or created
work, this will
be acknowledged in the published issue. If editorial staff or panel
members submit
work, the process of submission will be anonymous, the same as the blind
review, to ensure objectivity during the peer-review process. Wherever
possible
papers and work will be viewed by two peer-reviewers or more from the
panel. If under exceptional circumstances a blind review is impossible
for a particular paper this will be stated in the final publication.
The Dovetail guide for peer-review can be found here.
The publishing structure for The Dovetail can be viewed here.
In addition please read and be acquainted with the COPE peer-review
upheld by peer-reviewers.
Thanks to the growing number of academic staff from multiple universities and different departments, advisers, support staff and postgraduate students who have offered to work on and continue the publication of The Dovetail for future issues.
