2010 - Tips on Becoming a Good Reviewer (Providence, RI) Featuring: Brian Bowen, University of Hawaii Review writing is rarely taught to grad students, yet we are all expected to write constructive peer reviews throughout our careers. Everyone’s received poor reviews, as well as ones that have been helpful and improved the manuscript. How can we have more of one and not the other? This workshop will seek to fill this gap in the professional development of most graduate students with tips on how to become a good reviewer, as well as providing valuable insights into the peer review process. What criteria do experienced scientists use when setting out to comment on a manuscript or grant proposal? When should you start thinking of serving as a reviewer for a journal or granting agency? How can you make your comments constructive to the authors and improve their paper? When it is appropriate to reject a paper, and what do you do when you know the authors? Experienced reviewers and editors will answer these questions, as well as provide insight into what happens behind the scenes after you submit. Saturday, July 10th at 12pm ~ Room 551 AB | ||
