Antropologicheskij forum, 2021, no. 50

FORUM: AUTHORS, PEER REVIEWERS, EDITORS

Abstract: The 50th issue of the journal marks a jubilee. We have decided to mark this exceptional event in the journal’s history by organising a ‘forum’ on an exceptional subject: the relations between two different camps in the academic world: authors and editors. Sometimes these relations are harmonious and friendly, at other times less so; at other times again, they can be plain tense, or even openly hostile. The situation is further complicated by the activities of peer reviewers (a relatively novel phenomenon in the Russian speaking world, more familiar in the USA and UK, and in parts of Western Europe). Participants were invited to share their experience of working with editors / editorial boards / authors and to describe the ideal editor (or conversely, the ideal author), and the ideal peer reviewer — as well as the anti-heroes. They were at liberty to use pseudonyms or their real names.

Keywords: journals, peer review, academic publishing, editors, editorial boards, authors, reviewers.
