Is academic copy editing for you? Find out in our Oct. 21 webinar with James Harbeck, which will examine the particularities of copy #editing academic books and the skills required. This is a fascinating specialty that can’t be approached quite the same way as copy editing mainstream trade books and magazines.

I received an email from #Clarivate that a reviewer of an article I handled would like feedback on their #PeerReview.

I am usually inclined to support development, but I cannot find out how the data I provide are going to be used.

I am asked for quantitative ratings (clarity, helpfulness etc) which won't be shared with the reviewer. And I can provide written comments, which will be shared.

Anyone experience to share?

The "Reviewer's guide to #QuantitativeMethods" provides a concise summary of what to learn about and how to plan & report studies employing 31 (2nd ed. apparently 35) methods: https://www.routledge.com/The-Reviewers-Guide-to-Quantitative-Methods-in-the-Social-Sciences/Hancock-Stapleton-Mueller/p/book/9781138800137

Since it is a book, it will be difficult for many to get access. Does anyone know whether at least the checklists have been published somewhere #OpenAccess?

And is there a #QualitativeMethods version?

Important reading on use of the phrase 'sub-Saharan Africa'. Coming to this rather late, but it's bugged me a lot and now I know why. #AcWri and #AcademicEditing can do better.

Geographically inaccurate and confusing: https://qz.com/africa/770350/why-do-we-still-say-subsaharan-africa

Rooted in divisive, racist thought: https://www.africanexponent.com/bpost/rethinking-the-term-sub-saharan-africa-36
