Description
Dr. Nancy Stanlick is an Associate Professor and Assistant Dean in the Department of Philosophy at UCF. She is also one of the co-editors of UCF's own open access journal, the Florida Philosophical Review. FPR (Florida Philosophical Review) is one of the first open access journals in philosophy. They started in 2001 and publish at least one issue per year. They put in place several processes to upload and secure documents, to obtain Web space in the College of Arts and Humanities, and have the backing of the Florida Philosophical Association. They employ an anonymous review process with a usual turn-around time for publication decisions from 4-6 months, and sometimes a bit longer when substantial revisions of a submitted work are required. To put it bluntly, they learned along the way how to handle the open access format.
Dr. Stanlick will be speaking on general information about anonymous peer review process, similarities to traditional anonymous peer review publication process, qualifications of external reviewers, copyright retention, and specific and general processes in advertising, selection, and publication of the journal.
