Contributing Your Expertise as a Peer Reviewer

DESCRIPTION In this webinar we will discuss the role of peer reviewers for scholarly journals. Peer reviewers play a major part in maintaining the quality of knowledge provided to readers. Experts in nursing can develop their skills as a peer reviewer after they publish their own paper and learn how to critique others’ manuscripts through learning how to present constructive feedback. LEARNER OBJECTIVES To describe how being engaged as a peer reviewer for journals can increase one’s own expertise. Discuss the process of accepting a peer review assignment, critiquing the manuscript, and writing constructive feedback for the editor and author to consider. PRESENTER Marion E. Broome, PhD, RN, FAAN; Ruby F. Wilson Professor of Nursing, Duke University School of Nursing; Editor-in-Chief Nursing Outlook; Durham, North Carolina.
