| Abstract | This article examines journal practices and opportunities for bias in philosophy publishing through a 2009 survey sent to 25 journals (n=17). Journals report high rejection rates (92%). While 90% of editors mask author identities from reviewers, 81% of journals do not shield author identities from editors, allowing for the possibility of social bias in editorial decisions. 63% of editors sometimes rely on single reviews. 40% of editors “never” or “rarely” accept a paper receiving a single negative review (of these, 80% report sometimes relying on a single review). The authors recommend triple-anonymous review, increased reviewer numbers, and APA involvement in establishing best-practice standards and systematic data collection on submission and acceptance rates, including by gender and race.
