Peer review is essential to scientific progress – it upholds the quality, integrity, and credibility of research published in academic journals. This process helps authors strengthen their submitted papers and assists the editors in deciding the next steps for a manuscript.

In this 45-minute educational webinar on peer review, our panel of AVS journal editors will provide valuable insight into the peer review process, publishing ethics, and how to become a peer reviewer.

You will learn:

• The basics of peer review and its critical role in scientific publication
• How a reviewer is selected
• The expectations and role of a reviewer, including navigating publishing ethics
• How to create a helpful and constructive peer review report

This session is intended for persons at all career levels, but particularly early career professionals, students, or post-doctoral researchers who are interested in learning about and participating in the peer review process.
