Anatomy of the Reviewer: 6 Typologies

Academia Across the Seas

In this episode, we discuss our experiences as international scholars and scholars from non-English backgrounds. Dr. Michael Mikulewicz, Assistant Professor in Climate Studies at SUNY-ESF, joins us to share his experiences as an editor, reviewer, and research advisor. Despite academia's global and borderless nature, it is still heavily influenced by language hegemonies, which limit access to knowledge production spaces, especially among scholars who do not speak English as a first language. Tune in for more. Go cop a copy of Dr. Mikulewicz's book, Climate Justice in the Majority World [https://www.routledge.com/Climate-Justice-in-the-Majority-World-Vulnerability-Resistance-and-Diverse-Knowledges/Crawford-Michael-Mikulewicz/p/book/9781032101712?srsltid=AfmBOoo5yJB3tKEMmjcWmPAghl9CKGnE86lMF1jl9hRdcZOMytZiTXwm].  Remember to like, follow, and share our podcast and social media accounts [https://linktr.ee/thepeerreview?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=91b41c18-2b61-4291-b89e-4c92eb94a53b].

What's Bad Review? - Tales from an Exemplar

In this episode, we talk to a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Geosciences and principal investigator of the Computational Organic Chemistry, Geochemistry, and Astrobiology at Virginia Tech, Dr. Floyd Nichols. Dr. Nichols shares his experiences as a published author and reviewer, with no Reviewer #2 experience in sight. There is hope yet. Tune in to this episode as we share examples of what a peer review can and should be.  Remember to like follow, and share our podcast and follow our socials [https://linktr.ee/thepeerreview?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=f4837de6-d830-4e00-89ad-dfecf4a37ea8].

Anatomy of the Reviewer: 6 Typologies

On this episode of The Peer Review, Drs. Shu and EmCee share posts from the Facebook group Reviewer 2 Must Be Stopped [https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1A82cRMdWm/?mibextid=wwXIfr]. Through engagement with other scholars in this Facebook group of scholars, we identified six (6) typologies of Reviewer 2. Join us as we describe experiences with the Cite Me, The R2 Advocate, Demolition Man, Grammar Police, Exemplar, and the Diametrics. Which Reviewer 2 have you encountered?

Review 2 Must be Stopped!

In this episode, Drs. Shu and EmCee share their experiences with publishing in academic journals. Tune in as they describe the harrowing experience of having to navigate what they describe as unprofessional, offensive, hateful, and sarcastic feedback from who should be their peers.  If you want to share your experience or leave a review, email us at podcastwithphds@gmail.com or get on our Linktree [https://linktr.ee/thepeerreview?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=956e758f-03ef-491c-8fdd-2ba592d2a09b] to find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

The Reviews are In!

In a humorous take, Drs. Emme Christie (Dr. EmCee) and Shumaila Bhatti (Dr. Shu) take you on a journey of epic (read: comedic) proportions to experience life as an academic! Join them as they review feedback from peer reviews, an important part of publishing scientific research, and other challenges of academia and engaging the scientific process. In this launch episode, meet our hosts as they give insights into their journey into social sciences from the biophysical worlds of chemistry, hydrogeology, data science, how their research interests came to be, and how they approach objectivity, an ostensible requirement of ostensibly good science.  Welcome to The Peer Review, the only review that matters. We are your peers, and we've done the reviews!
