Peer review is a fundamental pillar of the journal publication process: it is the primary way in which the vast majority of journals assess and select content for publication. Understanding how it contributes to the research publication process is integral to early researchers' careers and their active involvement in the larger research community. This seminar will help post-graduate students and early-career researchers learn the fundamentals of peer review and understand its implication on how a manuscript is assessed and distributed.
This talk will cover the peer review process from the moment a manuscript is submitted to its acceptance. It highlights the benefits and challenges of peer review for the author, editor, and reviewer, as well as the developments that maintain and improve the rigor and efficiency of this essential process.
