Navigating Peer Reviews: A PGR/ECR Guide to Reviewing and Responding to Peer Reviews

An expert panel of Children's Geographers will offer reflections on their experience as journal editors and peer reviewers, and then be on hand to answer all your peer-review related questions.

This 90-minute webinar will be run in two parts with a short break in the middle.

Part 1 will address how to undertake effective peer review. The panel will talk through the peer review process and talk about issues such as how peer reviewers are chosen, and what makes a good peer review. There will then be time to ask any questions you might have about how to undertake peer reiew.

Part 2 will look at responding to peer review as an author. The panel will talk about editor's expectations of authors after peer review, what a good response to peer review might look like, as well as reflecting on their own experiences as authors who have received peer review.

The event is being run by Dr Matt Finn (Exeter University) and Dr Nadia von Benzon (Lancaster University) on behalf of the Geographies of Children, Youth and Families Research Group. Whilst the panel will comprise of children's geographers, we expect the session to have broader utility to PhD students and early career researchers in other human geography subfields. This event is open and free to all attendees from across geography or other cognate disciplines.

Confirmed panel so far: Prof Louise Holt (Loughborough University), Dr Matej Blazek (Newcastle University) and Dr Catherine Wilkinson (Liverpool John Muir University).
