About the session
In the scholarly publishing world, peer review is essential to the quality and credibility of academic publications. However, there are challenges in finding reviewers, educating peer reviewers, and obtaining useful peer reviewer reports within a reasonable time period.
2 Publishers, 1 Editor in Chief, and 1 Submission Platform Technologist will discuss how the introduction of a structured peer review process (SPR) can decrease peer review time and increase the quality of peer review reports.
Get an inside look into the development of a structured peer review program in a pilot study across twenty-three journals. Attendees will gain insights into the study results and learn the 9 structured peer review questions that yielded a 92% reviewer-response rate, so that they can reproduce in their own submission systems.
After attending this session, attendees will be able to develop and evaluate a structured peer-review process in their own publications.
