ONLINE: Reviews, rejections, and revisions: The peer review experience

Virtual Event

Imagine: You submitted your paper to the journal of your choice. You know you did high quality research and felt good about your paper. Then you get peer review comments that make you question whether you should even be in your field at all. It's okay!

This workshop will teach you how to respond to peer reviewer comments and make your paper even stronger before you resubmit it. We will also cover how you can be a good peer reviewer of other researchers' work.
