NFAIS Webinar – Applications for Open Peer Review
Date: Thursday, June 1, 2017
Time: 9:00 am – 11:00 am EDT
Location: Virtual
Registration: http://www.nfais.org/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=72&eventId=528307
====================================================================
What's Covered:
The peer review process plays a central role in upholding the quality
and standards of articles and the journals that publish them. Until
recently, researchers kept the critique of their work private, and
reviewers kept their identities protected and anonymous.
Now the scholarly ecosystem is seeking a means to implement a more
open, transparent review process—one which might not quite be fully
open yet, but does allow for a more collaborative, voluntary approach
in reviewing scientific scholarship. This step is viewed as being the
cornerstone to opening the lines of communication between the author
and reviewer, and helps serve as a means to eliminate bias, publish
work more quickly, and recognize and elevate reviewer contribution and
expertise.
In this NFAIS Webinar, our panel of experts will explore how open peer
review is being applied and how it has opened the door for reviewer
recognition, including:
How open review reports have increased reviewer participation and the
overall quality of the review.
Why reviewers benefit from open peer review, and how it enables
increased visibility for the reviewer.
How Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are being assigned to open
review reports, how they are linked to the original article, and the
benefits of making open review reports citable.
How open peer review can increase the speed in which articles are published.
How third-party companies are adding value to researchers, reviewers
and publishers.
Join NFAIS on Thursday, June 1st to find out why open peer review is
winning over publishers and reviewers, and challenging our long-held
system of blind review.
