Join Editage Insights in celebrating Peer Review Week 2016
Peer Review Week is a global event that aims to celebrate the peer review process and focus on those involved in reviewing activity at various levels: journal publishing, research grants, promotion and tenure committees, conferences submissions, and so on. The theme of this year’s event—which will run from September 19-25, 2016—is Recognition for Review. This theme is aligned with current discussions and debates in the scholarly publishing community about the need to recognize, reward, or incentivize peer reviewers for their services.
