Apologies for cross-posting
There are still a few places left in this exciting PDW which offers a unique opportunity to work closely with editors to discuss both the reviewing process and actual reviews.
It is designed to support early and mid-career researchers to turn a Revise and Resubmit (R&R) into a published article. The transformation of scholarly interest and research practice into a published article requires a process of navigating the peer review process which is inherently complex for the novice researcher. There are systems and protocols which need to be understood when the researcher receives feedback on articles submitted for publication. While the ‘pressure to publish’ dominates many academic careers, particularly among junior and mid-career researchers seeking to establish careers in an increasingly competitive academic marketplace, opinions about what constitutes ‘publishable research’ is increasingly divided. More than ever university governance systems emphasize the need for researchers to submit to top ranking journals early in their careers and predictably they receive reviews critical of their work. When they are invited to undertake a R&R, the researcher’s ownership of their writing process itself makes this reviewer feedback inherently difficult to assimilate; the words and the process expectations seem harsh and, often, incomprehensible. Negotiating the difficulties inherent in the review process and to prepare an appropriate response requires careful balancing of the feedback received and an understanding of the nature of the review process. In small groups of no more than eight persons, editors from a range of peer-reviewed journals aligned with the MED and CAR areas of interest will discuss specific examples of reviews and more general issues of peer review governance.
