PMC: Essays Currently Available for Peer Review

 

Self-nominated peer-reviewers regularly participate in the

editorial process of _Postmodern Culture_.  All submissions

distributed for review have been screened by the editors and will

receive two other readings from members of the journal's

permanent editorial board; _Postmodern Culture_ preserves the

anonymity of both authors and reviewers in this process, but the

comments of reviewers will be forwarded to the author.

 

If you would like to review one of the submissions described

below, and if you think you can complete that review within two

weeks of receiving the essay, please send a note to the editors at

[log in to unmask] outlining your qualifications

as a reviewer of the work in question (experience in the subject

area, publications, interest), identifying the MS by number as

listed below, and specifying the manner in which you would like

to receive the essay (electronic mail or World-Wide Web).

We will select one self-nominated reviewer for each of the works

listed below, and we will notify reviewers within two weeks.

 

Information gathered during this process about potential reviewers

will be kept on file at PMC for future reference, and may be made

available for online searching by PMC subscribers seeking

expertise in a particular field.  Please note: members of the

journal's permanent editorial board should not nominate themselves

in response to this call.
