How to Become a Peer Reviewer—Doing your Share for the Research Community

現在收看
Peer review is one of the most critical processes in academic publishing and continues to have a significant effect on the number and type of studies that get published each year. Being a part of the evaluation process and determining the accuracy of the work submitted is as important as having publications in the peer-reviewed journals. Not only it works as a catalyst in boosting your career as a researcher, but also keeps you up-to-date about the latest research even before it’s published. Celebrating the Peer Review Week 2019, Enago Academy conducted a live webinar guiding researchers to become a part of this rigorous but crucial process of scholarly publishing.

Through this webinar, researchers will learn:

• Overview of the peer review process
• Various peer review models adopted by journals
• How do journals select reviewers for a manuscript?
• Why becoming a peer reviewer is critical for researchers’ career progression?
• Tips on evaluating each section of the research paper
• How to draft a review report?
• Ethical practices that need to be followed by peer reviewers
