Among ourselves, we often reflect on our deeply frustrating experiences of working in the publish-or-perish cultures that have overtaken the academy while being hemmed in by the onto-epistemological gatekeeping cultures that characterise the capital-driven publishing industry, and feed off what Babalwa Magoqwana, Qawekazi Maqabuka and Malehoko Tshoaedi (2019) and Beatrice Akala (2021) characterise as the neoliberal academy. Here, we refer to the value chain that consists of who is invited to write, the spaces to think deeply that writing requires, the review and editing processes, and the citational politics that academic publishing is enmeshed in. As editors, writers and reviewers, we have spent years commiserating with one another about the pitfalls of academic publishing. In fact, this issue emerged out of a sustained conversation on these experiences. In the spirit of mapping the processes, experiences and insights into the academic publishing landscape, and specifically peer review and revision, we map the contours of the academic publishing landscape and its implications for African and other marginalised scholarly communities. This forms the backdrop against which the cluster of papers that follow sketch out in finer texture a range of perspectives on this landscape. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of African Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
