Participating in the review process for peer-reviewed journals is an integral part of academic life. However, young scientists may experience challenges in approaching this daunting task and creating an effective review for a manuscript. In this webinar, we will discuss the process of peer-reviewing manuscripts for journals, strategies for critically reading a manuscript, and steps in compiling a formal review. We will also share tips from senior scientists regarding how they approach the peer-review process.

Intended Audience: Graduate and professional students and postdocs in the sciences who are new to the peer-review process.
