Peer Review Week

 

















Peer Review Week is an annual global event celebrating the critical role of peer review in maintaining the quality and integrity of research communication. The theme for Peer Review Week 2017 is 'Transparency'.

Check out the official Peer Review Week webpage for informative posts and webinars (online presentations).


Additional resources:

• Publons - get recognition for doing peer reviews, or if you are an early career researcher and would like to learn how to do a good review, attend Publon Academy
• Open Peer Review (OPR) - learn more about this Open Science movement
• F1000 Research -  A good example of a publishing platform with open peer review practices

Reproducible Research

Given NIH's new focus on rigor and reproducibility, here is a timely article, "Reproducible Research, Just Not Reproducible By You".

In it, David Crotty wonders if a researcher spends years perfecting a technique, is it plausible that someone without that expertise could reproduce the experiment exactly? He also looks at the oft-quoted Amgen article about reproducibility and calls into question its validity.
