Description
Peer review is a critical component to the process of reporting research and reviewing manuscripts is an important skill and service to the scientific community. However, navigating the art of peer review can be a daunting process, considering the scarcity of formal, in-person training opportunities within the realm of vision research. This course aims to bridge this crucial gap, guided by the expertise of Editors-In-Chief from prestigious vision science journals (American Journal of Ophthalmology, Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, JAMA Ophthalmology, Ophthalmology, Ophthalmology Science, Optometry and Vision Science, and Translational Vision Science & Technology). Through a blend of didactic instruction and engaging roundtable discussions, this course will unveil the nuances of effective peer review.
After attending this course, you will be able to:
- Describe the journal peer-review process
- Identify an effective approach to reviewing a manuscript
- Write a review that assists both the authors and the journal editors
