Reviewer Academy-Peer Review Process

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the peer review process in academic journals. The goals of peer review include determining the scientific validity, originality, and appropriateness of a manuscript. Peer review also helps to ensure journal alignment with submitted content, improve clarity and quality, and identify any errors. The editorial team consists of the administrative team, responsible for managing journal requirements and supporting users, and the scientific team, led by the editor-in-chief who oversees the peer review process. Manuscripts go through a process of checks and are reviewed by at least two experts in the field before a final decision is made. There are threats to high-quality peer review, such as predatory journals and lack of transparency. Confidentiality in peer review varies among journals, with options like single-blinding, double-blinding, or completely open peer review. It is important for potential reviewers to know the journal's confidentiality policy. Overall, high-quality peer review focuses on the novelty, accuracy, and importance of a manuscript.
