Out of bounds

Yesterday I outlined the kinds of posts that you would see on a regular basis at Free Association. The list is by no means exhaustive. A word here about posts that you won’t see. While we are looking forward to using this space to clarify editorial policies in general terms, the specifics of the peer review process obviously remain confidential. In a way, a blog run by editors at a peer-reviewed journal is a bit of an outlier, in that stream of consciousness posts describing “what I did today” have to omit much of what we spend our time doing, which is overseeing a confidential peer review process (by analogy, there aren’t too many clerks for Supreme Court justices who have blogs, to my knowledge). That said, we’re confident that there will be than enough for us to discuss to make this site a lively and worthwhile read. Your contributions will no doubt ensure this. And if anyone wants to weigh in on whether the peer review process should continue to be confidential, I’m sure you’ll get a good argument on either side.
