Academic disciplines and communities rely on a pool of capable reviewers with disciplinary and methodological expertise, who can provide high quality, timely reviews and advice to editors, that allows effective communication of information and decisions to authors.
Effective academic peer reviewing requires a specific set of skills and knowledge, beyond those that are developed through academic research and teaching in a disciplinary context. An academic peer reviewer’s role can be described as disciplinary and scholarship custodian. The academic peer review function is responsible for ensuring accurate and ethical dissemination of knowledge, communicating assessment of research to ensure publication of research that is scholarly, ethical and contributes to knowledge.
This course is designed to provide foundational theoretical knowledge and practical skills to develop effective academic peer reviewing practices. Understanding quality markers that can be used to evaluate a manuscript and make recommendations will support academics to design research projects and ensure author submissions meet journal expectations.
