You will leave this session
- with a better understanding of the peer review process,
- how participation in peer review can increase diversity and inclusion in our discipline’s scholarship,
- the characteristics of a constructive peer review,
- steps to begin participating as a reviewer, and
- some hands-on practice in thoughtful, respectful, and constructive peer criticism.
