About this video
The past few years has seen a decided move towards increased transparency in peer review - it was even chosen as the theme of the global awareness event, Peer Review Week 2017 (#PeerRevWk17). To mark the occasion, we invited three experts to discuss the trend.
In this webinar recording, you will hear from Emily Jesper-Mir from Sense about Science, a charity that challenges the misrepresentation of science and evidence in public life. She looks at the public hunger for well-written and validated information about science, and outlines how researchers can help to demystify results.
Two of the surgery journals edited by Dr. Riaz Agha joined an Elsevier pilot in which peer review reports are published alongside articles. He talks about why increased transparency can lead to greater accountability and, in turn, better outcomes.
In 2017, Dr. Richard D. Morey helped to launch the Peer Reviewers' Openness initiative, with the goal of increasing the transparency of science through the collective action of peer reviewers. He explains what those actions involve.
You’ll come away understanding the opportunities transparency in peer review brings, not only to the publishing process, but to you as a researcher.
