Heading to #MLA19 via Amtrak, which has got me a little disoriented. #thoughtiwasinthemidwest
Hoping to see many of you in Chicago for #MLA19! You can find me at #s01A, Designing Community Engaged Research; #s350, The Impact of Kate Hayles’s NEH Summer Seminar; and #s487, Transacting DH.
I’ll also be in the @JHUPress booth in the exhibit hall on Saturday from 4 to 5pm, hanging out with @biblioracle. \(Rumor has it that there’ll be early copies of \#GenerousThinking on hand\!\)
Also! My wonderful @humcommons colleagues will be available in MLA PubCentral, but catch me if you have questions or ideas about how Humanities Commons might work for you. #MLA19
Another opportunity to pick up some Humanities Commons tips and tricks! https://twitter.com/MLAnews/status/1080464018706522112
This is enormously exciting! Congratulations, all! https://twitter.com/MLAnews/status/1080510460305334278

Hi! I’d love to hear more about how you’re working with podcasts as we go. #OPReview
Replying to @s2ceball, @humcommons, @CMejeur and @KairosRTP
Ooh, this is a question I’d definitely love to hear more about. :) #OPReview
Replying to @csarven, @humcommons and @CMejeur
The question of what “open” might mean in the context of peer review is a big part of what I hope we’ll explore over the next hour… #OPReview
Replying to @s2ceball, @humcommons, @CMejeur and @KairosRTP
Whoa, that sounds interesting. I’m curious too what that might look like in the humanities, and without the corporate overlords. #OPReview
Replying to @CMejeur and @humcommons
My own experiences with OPR have mostly been CommentPress oriented, including the discussions of Planned Obsolescence and Generous Thinking. But they’ve used a range of definitions for “open,” from open-to-the-world to community-based discussions. #OPReview #A1
Replying to @s2ceball, @humcommons, @CMejeur and @KairosRTP
This sounds very much like something I’ve imagined Humanities Commons working toward: repository as asset manager feeding into journals around the network… #OPReview #A1
Replying to @CMejeur and @csarven
Absolutely! OPR creates the possibility for disrupting what we mean when we talk about peer-reviewed publication. Making things openly available, with transparent review processes, can take lots of forms! #OPReview #A1
Q2: What values would you argue should guide open peer review? How should these values be enacted and communicated? #OPReview #Q2
Replying to @s2ceball, @PassableGhost, @humcommons and @CMejeur
Completely agreed. Many believe that open commenters might be less than candid, but my experience of OPR has been super rigorous — just constructive! #OPReview
Replying to @s2ceball
I’d second all of that, and would add, per @mkgold’s thread, that caring for that community has to be a top priority. #OPReview #A2 https://twitter.com/mkgold/status/1082811153993158656
Replying to @rachellstarry, @hkpmcgregor, @CMejeur and @humcommons
I’m curious about this, too — OPR is one area in which “if you build it, they will come” absolutely Does Not Work. #OPReview #A1
Replying to @CMejeur and @humcommons
I like to think that OPR made both of my books much better, not least by giving me so many more different perspectives to think though as I revised them. #OPReview #A3
Replying to @CMejeur and @humcommons
OPR also allowed me to see reviewers in dialogue \(and sometimes disagreement\) with one another. And it allowed me to give appropriate credit to reviewers for their contributions to my work! #OPReview #A3
Replying to @PassableGhost
Yes, absolutely! That sense of scholarly conversation has been central to my interest in OPR. #OPReview #A2
Replying to @s2ceball
Oh, that’s so great! #OPReview #A3
Q4: What are the limitations of open peer review? What are the barriers to more journals and scholarly communities adopting it? #OPReview #Q4
Replying to @s2ceball and @CMejeur
Ha, yes, it’s what we do all the time! We’ve learned how to say politely \(and with evidence\) that Reviewer 2 is full of beans. Figuring out what advice to take and what to shelve is part of the process! #OPReview #A3
Replying to @K_Leonard_PhD
I’ve run into that as well. I tend to find that folks who were active bloggers in the early days, when we were all arguing — but all friends — all the time get it in a way that’s harder for those who weren’t in that milieu. #OPReview #A4
Another barrier I’ve run into is time. Readers have been enormously generous in the time and attention they’ve paid to commenting on my work, but I worry about how scalable that model is. How many manuscripts can get that level of attention? #OPReview #A4
Replying to @s2ceball
Commit to it! This is what OPR is all about! ;-) #OPReview #A4
Replying to @CMejeur
Oh my word yes. We need that reorientation quite desperately. But letting go of publishing MORE MORE MORE is going to require a massive rethinking of academic analytics. Maybe a focus for our next chat \(eh, @HuMetricsHSS\)? #OPReview #A4
Replying to @s2ceball and @CMejeur
I don’t know. I’d love to see us all get off the treadmill a little bit and focus on real engagement and communication with the work we’re doing, rather than just production for production’s sake, which is where I often feel we are. #OPReview
Replying to @CMejeur and @humcommons
This is such a good question, and I feel myself a little stymied by it. Part of what we need to improve OPR is a greater sense of conversation and community among scholars. And the sense that it’s *valued*. #OPReview #A5
Replying to @stevermentz
I am *thrilled* to hear this, and will so look forward to hearing more!
Replying to @s2ceball, @CMejeur and @humcommons
Ooh, I like this idea! OPR Happy Hour! #OPReview #A5
Replying to @CMejeur, @SheilaABrennan and @humcommons
Agreed! This was one of the conclusions that the @NEH_ODH #OPReview study we worked on at @MediaCommons came to: OPR can take many forms; the key bit is being transparent about *your* form.
Replying to @s2ceball, @K_Leonard_PhD, @allegraswift and @MellonFdn
Whoops, it was @MellonFdn! Not really guidelines per se, but meta-guidelines: a whole series of questions that publications needed to answer for themselves and their authors, to be clear and transparent about they values. #OPReview
Whew, that was a fast hour. This was a fantastic conversation, y’all. Thanks so much to everyone for joining in! I hope that we can keep this going. #OPReview

Once more for the folks in the back: “Almost all publishers are ok w/ open dissertations in at least some cases.” Not least because the distance between the diss and the book is usually greater than it may appear. And sharing the diss can help you build an audience! https://twitter.com/familyunequal/status/1087057902634975232
