Editing and Peer Review Process

 

Each book is peer reviewed by external experts in the relevant area(s) of study, who are unpaid and remain anonymous. These are usually historians and archaeologists working in universities, to whom we are indebted for the time they give and the improvements they suggest.

 

All EPE publications are edited by the VCH Editorial Board, including:

·         Paperbacks

·         Explore website

·         Education materials

 

The VCH Editorial Board meets monthly to discuss book plans, draft manuscripts, web content and resources for schools. Each EPE county project is assigned a lead editor, who is responsible for communicating with the county authors and editors on a regular basis and deciding when draft text and images should be reviewed by the board. All manuscripts are signed off by the VCH Executive Editor.

 

The Editorial Board comprises:  

with additional reporting by Skye Dillon Education & Skills Manager and Dima Nemchenko, Web Manager.

 

The paperback books are published by Phillimore & Co Ltd, and the website is supported and hosted by Lexara.

 

Book reviews provide us with useful feedback as well as publicity. Please contact Melanie Hackett for review copies of our book, naming the publication where the review will be printed.
