Everyone is a Peer Reviewer
Q: How do submissions get reviewed for publication?
A: Peersourcing
Peersourcing is a new approach to scholarly peer review designed to involve students in all aspects of research and writing - as writers, readers, and reviewers.
If you submit something, read another student's work and comment on it. Throw out an idea. Ask a question.
*This is a very important part of the publication process. You're not only helping us select articles for publication, but also showing that you believe in the process.*
You don't have to submit something to be a peersourcer. Jump in by reading and commenting!
peersourcing traditions
"Educated men lay down broad general principles; uneducated men argue from common knowledge and draw obvious conclusions. We must not, therefore, start from any and every accepted opinion, but only from those we have defined - those accepted by our judges [evaluators] or by those whose authority they recognize" (225).
The Rhetoric excerpted in The Rhetorical Tradition
peersourcing strategies
Your role as a peersourcer is to help the writer strengthen his/her submission.
During the early stages of the review process, when a writer has marked a submission with "just thinking" or "drafting," your goal is to provide global feedback on the writer's topic or angle. Try to help the writer understand whether his/her topic is interesting to an audience of UNC undergraduates and make recommendations about what might make the submission more compelling to this audience.

As you read, rate, and review submissions you are engaging in composing as a social practice, helping the writer understand how an audience is actually responding to the piece.
---
As a writer, try to use the readers reactions to your work to help you understand whether your current composing strategies are effective for this audience and to help you find ways to make your revisions more effective.
