Rezensionen / Stimmen

'This perspicacious volume emphasises the significance and complexity of feedback literacy in journal peer review in Education and Applied Linguistics. It uniquely blends the experiences and insights of journal editors, authors, and early career researchers, offering a comprehensive exploration of the challenges and opportunities inherent in engaging with peer review feedback, as well as presenting pressing points for future directions of feedback literacy. Essential reading for researchers at all career stages, this volume provides invaluable perspectives on navigating the dynamics of academic publishing and feedback reception.'

'Peer review is an integral part of scientific development and it triggers emotional reactions from all sides. Yet, scholars are rarely trained to constructively provide feedback or effectively engage with it. To this end, this book is undoubtedly a necessary resource for those involved in academic publishing including researchers, graduate students, journal editors, and publishers.'

Masatoshi Sato, Professor, Universidad Andres Bello, Chile, and Editor of Language Awareness

'This is a book that will transform our thinking about literacy, feedback, (peer) review, and how the scholarship review of academic journals may develop its collective judgmental acumen. Its perspective(s), frameworks, and exposition offer scholars and students insights on how feedback literacy may be gleaned and enhanced from systematic review. If research is posited as systematic inquiry made public, then perhaps review may be appreciated for its potential to support assessment literacy through systematic informed judgement made accessible and educative for all learners.'

'The academic practice of peer reviewing for journals is frequently a process shrouded in mystery. Adopting the increasingly popular lens of feedback literacy, this book offers insights on peer review which should appeal to academics at all stages of their career. This book is valuable for those wishing to reflect upon and improve their own practice, to support others to participate in a core aspect of academic life, and to anyone involved in journal editing.'
