In this podcast we share top tips on how to avoid being Reviewer #2. Our guests talk through the importance (and flaws) of the peer review process, how they approach it, how you can write papers to help avoid a bad review, and the benefits of getting involved.\n\nAdam Smith, Dementia Researcher Programme Director talks with Dr Yvonne Couch, ARUK Research Fellow and Associate Professor at University of Oxford, Dr Isabel Castanho, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School and Dr Martina Bocchetta, Senior Research Fellow at University College London.\n\n--\n\nPeer review is essential in assisting editors in selecting high quality, novel research papers, and to ensure errors are corrected. Though the peer review process still has some flaws, a more suitable screening method for scientific papers has not yet been developed (UK Research & Innovation has announced a review of the peer review system). So\u2026 for now we\u2019re stuck with it (although our recent survey has identified some ways that the process could be improved e.g. blinding, compensating reviewers etc.).\n\n--\n\nPeer review training courses:\n\nNature Masterclass: https://bit.ly/3C3tDd7\nWiley Training: https://bit.ly/3r6FYGU \nElsevier Academy: https://bit.ly/3BEFf4X \nRC Psych Training: https://bit.ly/3LCqfZO \nFundamentals of peer review: https://bit.ly/3g4WPaT\n\n--\n\nYou can find out more about our panellists, and their work on our website.
