====================================================================

What's Covered:

The peer review process plays a central role in upholding the quality and standards of articles and the journals that publish them.  Until recently, researchers kept the critique of their work private, and reviewers kept their identities protected and anonymous.
Now the scholarly ecosystem is seeking a means to implement a more open, transparent review process—one which might not quite be fully open yet, but does allow for a more collaborative, voluntary approach in reviewing scientific scholarship.  This step is viewed as being the cornerstone to opening the lines of communication between the author and reviewer, and helps serve as a means to eliminate bias, publish work more quickly, and recognize and elevate reviewer contribution and expertise.
In this NFAIS Webinar, our panel of experts will explore how open peer review is being applied and how it has opened the door for reviewer recognition, including:

  *   How open review reports have increased reviewer participation and the overall quality of the review.
  *   Why reviewers benefit from open peer review, and how it enables increased visibility for the reviewer.
  *   How Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are being assigned to open review reports, how they are linked to the original article, and the benefits of making open review reports citable.
  *   How open peer review can increase the speed in which articles are published.
  *   How third-party companies are adding value to researchers, reviewers and publishers.
Join NFAIS on Thursday, June 1st to find out why open peer review is winning over publishers and reviewers, and challenging our long-held system of blind review.
