> [cid:image002.jpg@01CF181F.09849390]<http://www.palgraveopenreview.com/>Research with authors from across the humanities and social sciences has shown us how highly you value the peer review process, but also how many of you want to see peer review evolve.

> So, starting on Monday, January 27 and running for 6 weeks only, you will be able to read exclusive sample materials currently under development for publication with Palgrave Macmillan. As part of our open peer review trial<http://www.palgraveopenreview.com>, you can play an active role by reading, commenting and sharing your thoughts on these proposals.
