We have extended our call for external reviewers!
The Past Tense Editorial Board relies on external reviewers for our anonymous peer review process. The ideal candidate is a graduate student in a History PhD program (or closely-related field) who has reached candidate status and has both thematic and geographic expertise. External reviewers evaluate research article submissions with respect to their originality, argumentation, style, and historiographical rigour. The feedback we receive from reviewers is instrumental in determining the acceptance of articles for publication.
The majority of external review work for the 2021 issue will take place in April. The editors assign articles they determine are within a reviewer’s range of expertise, and the number of articles reviewed each issue cycle will vary based on submissions. We typically will not assign reviewers more than two articles per cycle.
The application for external reviewers can be found here, and will be open until March 14th, 2021.
