Peer Review

Para1Editions in the LEMDO Peer-Review Anthology are in various states of completion and review. Some editions may be undergoing examination for an honours, MA, or PhD thesis. Other editions are undergoing scholarly peer review.
Para2Anthology Lead(s) are responsible for arranging for peer review of editions. They may have supplied reviewers with a set of questions and/or a reviewing form. If they have not supplied specific questions, LEMDO suggests that reviewers address the following questions:
Is each semi-diplomatic transcription accurate according to the transcription principles set out by the project? Checking a sample of the transcription will be adequate.
Is the editorial approach appropriate for the stated readership and aims of the edition?
Has the text been consistently modernized according to the principles articulated in the editorial guidelines and/or the editorial description.
Does the textual introduction/essay adequately describe the history, transmission, and current thinking about the text?
Is the choice of copytext appropriately justified?
Does the edition collate the appropriate previous texts and editions?
Are the critical paratexts (i.e., general introduction, critical introduction, and/or performance history) adequate, well written, and appropriately connected to prior criticism?
Are the annotations appropriate for the stated readership of the edition? (If no readership is stated, assume a readership of senior undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars.)
Do you have any other comments about the edition?
In every case, please make comments and suggestions.
