The webinar is aimed at presenting the peer-review certification service developed in the course of the HIRMEOS project.
Peer-review has a critical importance in scholarly communication, but both its practices and understanding exhibit a great deal of opacity. This is especially true for the peer review processes concerning open access monographs.
The HIRMEOS Open Book Peer-Review Certification service is a response to the increasing need for transparency and a better understanding of book peer review processes. The certification system, developed in collaboration with the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB), provides a convenient way to reassure authors and evaluation agencies about the scientific quality of Open Access books. In the webinar, we are going to introduce this service to different communities by bringing together the perspectives of scholars, publishers, developers and librarians. It will be showcased how the service aims to open the black box of peer review by:
Speakers: Eelco Ferwerda (DOAB, OAPEN), Pierre Mounier (OPERAS), Samuel Moore (King’s College London) and Isabella Meinecke (Hamburg University Press).
Chairs: Andrea Bertino (HIRMEOS, DARIAH-DE), Erzsébet Tóth-Czifra (DARIAH-EU).

The workshop will take place on the 2nd of June in Marseille, France as a side event of the Elpub Conference.
