The Fourth CSP Webinar
Revisiting the Instrument of Peer Review
Moderator: Dr Isaiah Negedu
Date: June 11, 2021
Time: 2: 30 PM -4 PM (CET/ SAST); 1:30 PM – 3PM (WAT)
Peer review has always been the most credible way to validate scientific research in different fields. Journals, presses, etc., employ the process to sieve works that meet the requirements of each publisher. However, there have been some reservations from some authors about the ability of reviewers to be dispassionate in their review process. This problem partly stems from the claim that sentiments are attached to some themes which may either not be the areas of specialisation of the reviewer or may be against their interests. This has also led to allegations of journals/publishers playing surveillance functions on some themes emanating from the African continent and some other countries in the global south. There is constant reawakening of researchers and scholars from other parts of the world towards the possibility of establishing various local and international outlets for their works to be seen and read. It is against this backdrop that the Conversational Society of Philosophy (CSP) brings a group of panelists together to interrogate the aims and functions of peer review and how to restore confidence in the process. To this end, panelists will engage the following questions/subthemes:
1. What are the aims of Peer review and how well does the Instrument fare in today's scholarship? Prof Ward Jones, Department of Philosophy, Rhodes University.
2. Distinguishing constructive from destructive review. Dr Abosede Ipadeola, Katholische Universität, Eichstätt-Ingolstadt.
3. Is the accusation of gatekeeping of some manuscripts in African scholarship true? Prof Olatunji Oyeshile, Department of Philosophy, University of Ibadan.
4. Can confidence be restored in the peer review process? How can it be done? --- All panellists and the audience.
