Peer Review – a workshop for newer researchers.

Facilitator; Professor Rosemary Deem

Peer review is fundamental to academia and research and is crucial to progressing knowledge within our community, yet it is relatively rare for peer review to be taught to newer researchers. 

This workshop not only teaches peer review skills (useful whatever kind of job you aim to have in future) but by explaining how peer review operates and what it does, allows you will be able to reflect and improve the quality of the papers you submit for publication to a journal, as well as the quality of their conference abstracts and grant applications.

The workshop is practical and participants will be asked to do some preparation before the course.
