How to Peer Review Manuscripts for Journals

The ability to review papers should be a core skill of every research scientist. With the growing number of manuscripts being submitted to scientific journals, editors are increasingly reliant on independent experts who can deliver good-quality reviews in a timely fashion.

This course is designed for researchers at the early stage of their career who have little or no experience of peer-reviewing.

This course is open to Postdocs, Research Fellows & Research Degree Students.

Aims

• To improve your knowledge of the requirement for objective, specific, constructive and balanced comments that will assist both the editor and the author(s)
• To clarify the amount of time involved in reviewing a paper
