Abstract

Academic publication is not as easy for scholars around the world to produce--whether they are on the side of authors or that of reviewers and editors--as it is for institutions to demand it. It is even harder to make transnational publication meaningful, unless we keep making the process more accessible, product more locally relevant, and exchange across borders more equitable. . . .
