Jellybean #58 with @KirstyChallen
Half way up the stairs is the stair where we stop.\n\nTo talk to a peer. About peers. About peer reviews.\n\nI know next to nothing about Journals, Editing, Peer Reviewing. Kirsty Challen does. She is an Emergency physician and an EMJ sub-editor. She talks to Matt McPartlin about the journal article review process and the debate surrounding peer review. In a stairwell. (Seriously, they really were in a stairwell.) They also ate jellybeans. It's really quite good. \n\n(What they don't talk about (at all) is another Kirsty Challen talent; graphic design. She has an interesting practice in what she calls #paperinapic, the distillation of an educational message into a graphic image. I prefer picture books. Something to do with my poor reading skills.)\n\nMatt once again shows that he has a much more logical approach to this Jellybean Caper when he asks Kirsty for three top tips for the aspiring writer AND three more for the aspiring editor. \n\nThis conversation came after the very interesting and thought provoking group discussion entitled \u201cPublishing and the future of critical care knowledge dissemination.\u201d You can access that here. \n\nhttps://www.smacc.net.au/2016/11/publishing-and-the-future-of-critical-care-knowledge-dissemination/
