TCELT and International Journal of Educational and Life Transitions Webinar

While the ways in which we publish research are currently changing at an accelerated pace, constructive peer review is a part of most current and envisioned models of the publication process. Conducting peer reviews well and efficiently is therefore a key skill for researchers. 

This webinar will give an overview of peer-review processes and principles. The webinar starts by presenting the general editorial processes and the production of a manuscript. Based on this, it will be described how the review(er) fits in. 

Next, we will discuss the practicalities of performing a review, for example when to accept a manuscript for review and key elements of a review. We will end with suggestions on how to evidence your activity. Throughout, examples will be used to illustrate good reviewing practice. Critical perspectives around peer-review models will be raised and there will be time for discussion and Q&A.
