Manuscript ReviewsThe ASR is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. The editors, while knowledgeable in African studies, cannot possibly command the entire breadth of Africanist scholarship, and so depend on a vast network of experts to evaluate manuscripts and to write substantive reviews. It is double blind because neither the reviewer nor the author knows each other's identity. The peer review process is the best assurance African studies scholars have that the ASR will sustain its intellectual and scholarly quality well into the future. How to become a peer reviewerThe editors of the ASR invite individuals, whether members of the African Studies Association or not, to participate in the process of reviewing manuscripts. No remuneration is involved, but you get to participate in a critically important enterprise for African studies scholarship: you provide thoughtful and appropriate comments on a manuscript and you help the editors to make the right decisions about any given manuscript.
