np:

As with acquisitions, np: works in two discrete but interrelated ways to develop peer review. First, it helps to create an administrative workflow that produces peer review. Whatever the project format, we ensure that at least two tenured professors provide thorough project assessment and authorize publication. np: also develops a pool of potential peer reviewers that it recommends to member institutions. It agrees with candidates for the reviewer pool that they are willing to be queried about reviewing projects as part of a developing press or as part of a not yet contracted np: project.
