| Summary: | Since the 1990s, questions of methodology and how they relate to the work of academic publishing have taken center stage in debates over research integrity and scholarly impact on policy. How can we best ensure that the peer review process fairly advances rigorous scholarship? In what ways can academic journals provide a service beyond assisting their authors in job searches and in gaining promotion and tenure? And how can editorial staff use journals not only to highlight current scholarly trends but also to push conversations about the future of various academic fields and critical intersections with policy? These questions are even more pertinent for interdisciplinary journals, such as the Journal of Human Rights. Our journal has a broad readership, in terms of both geographic representation and disciplinary background. How can we best engage our diverse readers in a common conversation? How do we make methodologies intelligible across disciplines, so readers can scrutinize as well as learn from the practices of disciplines other than their own? |
