This is so helpful, thank you! I especially love how concise it is. I am working with grad students as they prepare to do a mock peer review assignment, and this is a perfectly assignable piece.

Many thanks Yelena!

Dear Heng Du,

Thanks for listening! It is not as yet available on a podcast feed, but if we find a way to do that, I'll post it here.

Would this become available through a Podcast app by chance?

A beautiful shimmery lucid honest post - thanks

This episode is so useful. I wish there were links to peer review rubric samples but still , this is so informative.

Authors often ask publishers, “Why is my book so expensive?” The short answer: it really isn’t that expensive. The long answer: your scholarly book might cost more than commercially published nonacademic books because academic presses are spreading the cost of producing a title across a smaller number of print units. Each unit therefore has to be priced higher to enable the press to recoup the cost of production.
