Abstract
The paper will explore the configuration of a long-running and successful scholar-led, diamond open-access, interdisciplinary journal published by the University of Warwick, which combines knowledge dissemination with contributor developmental goals. Drawing on experiential data, it provides ethnographic insights into the mutually beneficial outcomes derived from recruiting post-graduate researcher ‘associate editors’ to work on the title. It also problematises the balance between potentially exploitative, collaborative editorial production within the context of necessary academic immaterial labour required to operate an interdisciplinary scholar-led title.
