Workshop "Effective feedback in a nutshell or how does peer review work?"

Hardly have you published your first articles when the publisher asks you to be a reviewer. What should you do - reject or accept? Above all, how do you write a review? The workshop is addressed to young researchers who have been asked to review articles for the first time and who want to learn how to develop and write an impactful peer review. The strategies learned and tools developed can be transferred to any form of collegial text feedback.

In order to develop routines for the review process, we will work on the following questions:

  • When / Why should I accept or reject a journal request for a review?
  • What is a good journal article? Which evaluation criteria in terms of content and form can I apply?
  • How do I compose an effective review?
  • How do I write a review that really helps the author?

Please bring an article to the workshop to which you can apply the strategies you have learned
