In this Parlor Chat, we talk with Emily Ford about her experiences and research on open peer review. We chat about how open peer review helps us re-envision peer review as an act of community, how it can help with reviewer imposter syndrome, and how to address challenges that an open peer review model can face with regard to equity.
*As a disclaimer, this episode was recorded and edited in December 2023, but due to life events, publication was delayed. I hope your spring semesters are off to a good start!

Guests:
Emily Ford (she/her) is a professor and urban & public affairs librarian at Portland State University Library in Portland, Oregon. Although her research is focused on opening scholarly peer review, she views the peer-review system as one comprised of human experience stories. Her book, Stories of Open: Opening Peer Review through Narrative Inquiry, was published in summer of 2021. When not immersed in stories, she is most likely found trail running (or doing the PT to get back to trail running), practicing yoga, petting her cats, or doing her work as president of the full-time faculty union at Portland State.
