Reviewer Academy-The Review

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video transcript is from the SCCM Reviewer Academy and focuses on conducting a constructive and helpful peer review for manuscripts. The aim of a peer review is to objectively evaluate the scientific merit of a submitted work and provide feedback to the authors and journal editors. It is important to be constructive and provide actionable steps for improvement. The reviewer should understand the context and issues addressed by the authors. The feedback should be clear, compassionate, and not demeaning. Before conducting a review, reviewers should assess their qualifications and potential conflicts of interest. Thorough reviews take time and require careful evaluation of major concerns and detailed assessments of each subsection of the manuscript. The reviewer should provide a summary and recommendation for the editor. The documentation of the review should include a brief summary, major comments, and minor comments. The feedback to the authors should be constructive and provide specific guidance. It is important to be objective, avoid biases, and focus on improving the manuscript and science presented. The peer review process is an essential part of academic medicine and can be learned and improved with practice.
