This is wonderful news. I am glad to read that it will "peer reviewed" by real scholars which I assume means scholars with earned doctorates and connected with accredited universities. This will be a great improvement over http://orthodoxhistory.org which included sensationalist articles like a religous version of "The National Enquirer".
ReplyDeleteYes, each article is peer reviewed by scholars with earned doctorates (though in a few cases, the person might have a Th.M. and decades of teaching and publication experience). I have a field of peer reviewers from whom I can draw. Also, if you look at the authors to this first issue, each person has a doctorate degree with only one exception and that exception was fully vetted. Also, each submission is blind peer reviewed. This will even be the case for the papers from our forthcoming symposium in Princeton.
