Catchup – Salon – Managing Feedback from Peer Review

In this session we talk about Managing Feedback from Peer Review.

Navigating feedback from peer review in academia involves a balance of strategy and emotional resilience. It’s about sorting through critiques to find actionable insights while maintaining enough distance to not take comments personally. Does our current system work? How do you actually do it? What about the peril of ‘Reviewer 2’? Let’s get into it, and discuss this hot academic topic, and see if we can collect some tips along the way.
