Publons Academy Teaches the Art of Peer Review
Publons introduced the Publons Academy, a free, online peer-review training course for early-career researchers that will help them practice and master peer review’s core competencies. According to Publons, “Our course is unique in that we put a strong focus on supervision and connection. Your chosen supervisor will mentor you through the course and endorse you as a skilled and practiced reviewer upon graduation. You’ll then be connected with top editors in your field to break into the world of peer review and demonstrate your subject-matter expertise.”The academy consists of 10 modules that teach researchers topics such as the importance of research questions, the appropriateness of study designs, and the accuracy of methodologies, as well as how to forge connections with editors and with subject experts and how to leverage peer-reviewing experience for fellowship, promotion, and grant applications.
