Is this course right for me?
Target Audience: Research and Academic Staff
The course involves a range of exercises to demonstrate some of the essential skills required to construct the most helpful reviews for both journal editors and authors, as well as discussion of how peer review can enhance our own research and careers.
The session will also give time to the etiquette and ethics of reviewing and use example case studies to prompt discussion of ways in which reviewers can spot ethical issues in submitted papers, as well as appropriate reviewer conduct. The course also helps attendees get to grips with the Publons Academy, walking through the course to demonstrate how it works, what it will help graduates achieve and the value of the permanent accreditation provided by the Academy.
We want the workshop itself to be a great opportunity for attendees to gain a deeper understanding of the practicalities of the peer review process, and learn some important skills that can be applied as and when they begin reviewing for journals.
