Peer Review

Section: Peer Review Process

Translation Matters is committed to publishing articles of the highest standard, and for this, the peer review process is essential.

All published articles have been peer-reviewed by at least two external scholars, chosen because of their specialist knowledge in the field. The process is double-blind to ensure full anonymity.

However, in the interests of transparency, and out of respect for the attention and professionalism that peer reviewers bring to their task, from Spring 2025 we will be making their (anonymous) reports available on the TM website.

 

Translation Matters Vol. 7, No. 1, Special issue on Music In/And Translation

Their (anonymous) reports can be found here.

It should be noted that these peer reviews relate to the author’s first draft. Most articles were subsequently revised by the authors, sometimes more than once,  and submitted to rigorous editing procedures under the supervision of the issue’s editor, Karen Bennett.  The final published version of the article may not, therefore, bear much resemblance to the original draft that was the target of the peer reviewers’ reports.

The reviews of articles that were ultimately not published are not included.
