Peer review plays a vital role in the dissemination and assessment of scientific research. Authors benefit from receiving an independent assessment of their work and reviewers benefit by gaining access to novel data. Dr. Catherine Bollard and Dr. Andrew Weyrich, the editor-in-chief and deputy editor for Blood Advances, will present recommended practices for reviewing a scientific paper for a peer-reviewed journal. The session will include topics such as things to consider when accepting or declining an invitation to review, how to write a review that is helpful for authors and editors, and what a reviewer should do if they suspect a possible research integrity issue. The presentation will be followed by a period for audience questions.
