| Description | Theme: Education and Research Category: Education and Research About this course: This activity is for staff on R and E&R only contracts - grades E-G. This course is delivered online and a joining link will be circulated beforehand. As your publishing gains pace, so will your research reputation. You will be approached by peer review journal editors to review other's submissions for publication. Join this interactive online webinar to find out how to do this efficiently and effectively. Peer reviewing is an integral part of academic practice, but it can be fraught with conflicts and issues. This online course will critically evaluate your role as a peer reviewer. We will look at what the reviewer has to do and what they should be considering when fairly reviewing a paper. By examining a number of `check-lists' we will also propose a structured approach to addressing the needs of both the authors of the paper and the editor of the journal. RDF Domain: B3.
