New Reviewer Education Program from the American Chemical Society
Reviewer education and mentorship is foundational to quality peer review; however, most reviewers get no formal training in the basics of how to review manuscripts for scholarly journals. The American Chemical Society has developed a free online course that features interactive modules that cover best practices in peer review. At this meeting, we will discuss the need for reviewer education, the ACS Reviewer Lab program, and future directions for peer review education across all scholarly publishing fields.
