Salon – Peer Reviewing your First Paper
November 27 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
A weekly gathering to discuss careers and research topics, inspired by 17th and 18th century salons from Paris, with a modern twist. These sessions combine livestreams, guest speakers and group chat to exchange ideas, challenge, influence, inspire and educate.
In this session we talk about Peer Reviewing your First Paper.
How do you navigate the delicate balance of being critical yet constructive when conducting your first peer review on an academic paper? In this Salon, we’ll explore the art and responsibility of peer reviewing. This discussion will challenge you to think about the impact of your feedback, the ethics of confidentiality, and the nuances of evaluating someone else’s research. Join us to explore how your first peer review can shape not only the paper in question but also your own development as a scholar in the field of dementia research. We have two great speakers, a room full of people (that’s you) to share your tips, and others who are there to share their own experiences.
