Workshop
This workshop presented how the journal submission and peer review process works, from first submission to acceptance. This was a hands-on workshop where participants have written and critiqued peer reviews from actual manuscript submission files taken from the contemporary scientific literature. Following the in person portion of the workshop, participants have written responses to a training set of peer review comments/editorial letters and received individual editorial feedback in writing.
