Peer Review Week

This year’s Peer Review Week (PRW) will be dedicated to the theme “Peer Review and The Future of Publishing.”

Through this, we aim to contribute to a positive peer review culture and invite researchers at all career levels, technicians, and research professionals to apply to work with us, share their insights and help us guide the future of interdisciplinary research at Leeds. 🧵

We also recognise the wealth of opportunities for the research community when peer review works at its best. This is why we are developing the Horizons Institute Interdisciplinary Assessment College, bringing together a diverse and multidisciplinary pool of colleagues from across Leeds. 🧵

It’s #PeerReviewWeek#PeerReview, as well as some of the challenges it creates in assessment processes. 🧵
