WEBINAR – TRAINING PEER REVIEWERS AS A FORM OF ENGAGEMENT: A SOLUTION TO THE PEER REVIEW CRISIS?

Peer review is an essential part of scholarly communications but is entirely volunteer driven. Journals are, however, struggling to find motivated peer reviewers or reviewers that can be relied upon to provide a fair and thorough evaluation. Could the offer of reviewer training simultaneously help motivate commitments to review as well as improve quality? This presentation re-evaluates the relationship between journals/funders/societies/publishers and their volunteer reviewer base and suggests offering some form of training program could be a valuable form of engagement.
