MOSF Journal of Science Fiction News: Call for Peer Reviewers

The JOSF is always seeking peer reviewers to join our team. Right now, we are particularly in need of peer reviewers with critical interests in Afrofuturism, but if you have research interests in sci-fi, we’d love to hear from you! As a peer reviewer, you can help improve the quality of science fiction scholarship.
If you’re interested in joining our pool of peer reviewers, visit our website. Please Register to create an account and check the box stating you would like to review submissions to the journal.

Make sure that you indicate your reviewing interests and include a biographical statement (for example, your academic department or day job), as that will help our team identify articles for you to peer review. We draw from this database for our peer review process. Thank you for being part of the success of the JOSF!

• JOSF Call for Editors & Peer Reviewers

  2022-11-07

  The MOSF Journal of Science Fiction is seeking applications for new editors to start in the spring of 2023. We seek editors with an established record of expertise in science fiction studies and related fields. New editors are expected to join an editorial team committed to promoting rigorous standards in publishing and attracting top-quality research to all subfields of science fiction. As a scholar-run journal, please note that we currently rely on volunteer-based labor.

  The Journal is also seeking peer reviewers on a rolling basis. We are looking for reviewers interested in academic writing on science fiction (broadly defined) to assist the editorial team’s mission to promote top-quality scholarship. An ideal peer reviewer has experience in academic fields related to, but not solely based in, science and speculative fiction study, and a willingness to provide cogent written reviews.
