Trust and Transparency in Peer Review

1st October 2015

Join us for Peer Review Week, a week of celebrations honoring the fundamental role of peer review in scholarly communications.

Peer review - the evaluation of scientific, academic, or professional work by others working in the same field - is at the heart of scholarly communications. Whether evaluating a journal article for publication, a paper to be presented at a conference, a faculty member for promotion, or a grant proposal, a rigorous peer review process helps ensure that a good decision is made.

This webinar will explore the foundations of trust in peer review, with expert speakers from academia and publishing sharing their different perspectives on issues around openness and transparency in the peer review process.

Speakers:Kent Anderson (AAAS), Verity Brown (St Andrews University), Alexander Grossman (ScienceOpen), Laurel Haak (ORCID), and Andrew Preston (Publons).
