This episode of Insights XChange dives deep into the evolving landscape of peer review and the responsibility publishers carry in building systems that are fair, fast, and future-ready. Guest Lucy Threadgold, Peer Review Manager at Emerald Publishing, shares how Emerald revamped its reviewer pools, introduced structured feedback systems, and is prioritizing transparency at every step of the publishing process.

From the role of AI in automating early peer review checks to the need for mentorship programs and neurodiverse-friendly author guidelines, the conversation explores where publishing is headed—and what it will take to get there with integrity intact.
