Since 2021, the editors, reviewers, and authors behind the Journal of Critical Digital Librarianship (JCDL) have attempted to foster community around cultural heritage digital library work through open access and open peer review.

JCDL’s open peer review process puts authors in direct communication with their reviewers, thereby prioritizing rigorous dialogue and respect for contributors’ time. JCDL also aims to provide a venue for intellectual projects in a variety of formats, both traditional and innovative.

In this webinar, an editor, a reviewer, a writer, and an audio producer will share their successes and challenges navigating open peer review, as well as their reflections on the direction of academic publishing in LIS.
