Saturday, June 23

An essential element for ensuring quality in academic publications is the process of peer reviewer. The peer review process requires the careful articulation of the mission, goals and standards for the specific publication and an understanding of the key elements in the process by those asked to serve as a reviewer. This program will focus on the key elements an editor and a reviewer need to consider during the peer review process to ensure continued excellence in academic publications.
