TOMASELLI, Keyan G.. Publishing as knowledge clubs: ASSAf Statement on the Recognition of Editors and Peer Reviewers. S. Afr. j. sci. [online]. 2025, vol.121, n.5-6, pp.1-4. ISSN 1996-7489.  https://doi.org/10.17159/sajs.2025/21599.

SIGNIFICANCE: Editing and reviewing powers the academic enterprise. Editors are conceptual shapeshifters implementing the national research framework. These activities are now recognised in the 'ASSAf Statement on the Recognition of the Work of Editors and Peer Reviewers of Academic Journals and Books in South Africa'. This article calls on universities to include such work in performance appraisals. It also proposes a dynamic knowledge club model of editing to co-exist with the conventional discrete product format. Knowledge does not arise from the sum of all articles published. Rather, it emerges out of the interactive potentialities that arise from journals as living documents that circulate meaning-making between editors, authors and readers.

Palabras clave : editing; publication; knowledge club; peer review.
