Curious about peer review, editing and scientific publication? In this workshop, Dr. Eric Smith, the Deputy Editor of Stroke, will discuss peer review and scientific publication from an insider’s perspective. Learn how journals set priorities, solicit papers, and manage peer review.

This will be an interactive workshop where we will work through the review process. Registrants will be assigned a research paper and must submit a review of the paper prior to the workshop. These reviews, anonymized, will be discussed during the workshop with the goal of highlighting good practices in peer review. You’ll have the opportunity to receive feedback on your review skills, and get into the nitty gritty of the review process. This is a helpful tool in considering what reviewers will be looking for in your own publications as well!

Following this workshop, registrants will have learned how journals evaluate submissions for publication and how to do a good peer review.
