Why should you be a peer reviewer?: Roles, responsibilities, and perks
We will be hosting a free webinar with a panel of editors of peer-reviewed journals. Four invited editors will discuss their views on peer reviewer duties and responsibilities and the impact they have on the journal and academic world. The webinar will also inform attendees about peer reviewing opportunities.
Editors come from a range of journals, including Evidence Based Library and Information Practice (Canada), College & Research Libraries (USA), NIALS Journal of Intellectual Property (Nigeria), Folia Toruniensia (Poland), New Review of Academic Librarianship (UK), and Performance Measurement and Metrics (UK). Topics of discussion will include criteria for peer reviewer selection, roles and responsibilities of peer reviewers, ethical responsibilities, and the benefits of peer reviewing for a journal. Details about the editors and journals can be found here.
