A More Open, Community-Driven Approach to Peer Review

After a year of planning, we are excited to announce that JMLE is embracing a more open, community-driven approach to peer review. Rather than a traditional closed process, we invite our global community of media literacy scholars and practitioners to read submissions and share thoughtful, transparent feedback.

Manuscripts that pass a Desk Review are blinded — name and identifying details removed — and posted on JMLE Submissions Open for Review, where members of the community can read them and offer comments.

To make the conversation easy and constructive, the site uses a commenting tool called Intense Debate. It lets reviewers leave comments directly on your submission’s page — posing questions, offering suggestions, and engaging with one another’s observations in a threaded, readable discussion. You’ll be able to see this feedback as it develops.

Reviewers are advised to use this format when submitting reviews: Suggested Guidance for JMLE Reviewers.
Submissions remain open for community review for 45–90 days. After that window closes, our Editorial Committee will consider each manuscript together with reviewer and community feedback and make a decision about publication.
