2nd HIRMEOS Webinar: A Peer-review Certification System for Open Access Books

Peer-review has a critical importance in scholarly communication, but both its 
practices and understanding exhibit a great deal of opacity. This is especially 
true for the peer review processes concerning open access monographs.
The HIRMEOS Open Book Peer-Review Certification service is a response to the 
increasing need for transparency and a better understanding of book peer review 
processes. The certification system, developed in collaboration with the 
Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB), provides a convenient way to reassure 
authors and evaluation agencies about the scientific quality of Open Access 
books. In the webinar, we are going to introduce this service to different 
communities by bringing together the perspectives of scholars, publishers, 
developers and librarians. It will be showcased how the service aims to open 
the black box of peer review by:
               Identifying several characteristics of peer review as they 
specifically pertain to Open Access books,
                Creating standard definitions of the various ways in which book 
peer reviews are conducted, and
                Informing readers about the nature of review a published work 
has undergone.

Speakers: Eelco Ferwerda (DOAB, OAPEN), Pierre Mounier (OPERAS), Samuel Moore 
(King's College London) and Isabella Meinecke (Hamburg University Press).
Chairs: Andrea Bertino (HIRMEOS, DARIAH-DE), Erzsébet Tóth-Czifra (DARIAH-EU).
