The second Peer Review Week will be held from September 19-25, 2016. It is an increasingly global event bringing together diverse individuals, institutions, publishers and organisations committed to sharing the central message that robust peer review, whatever the particular model, is critical to science communication.
This year's theme is 'Recognition for Review', and will explore all aspects of how the experts involved in the peer review process - in publishing, grant review, conference submissions, promotion, tenure, and more - deserve validation.
Planned activities include virtual and in-person events including webinars, videos, interviews and social media activities. These are designed to improve understanding of the principle of peer review and how it is practiced within the scholarly community.
Plans and events for Peer Review Week will be announced via the Peer Review Week website in the coming weeks. If you are planning an event and would like it to be featured on the Peer Review Week website, please send a brief description of the event to PRWeek@aaas.org, using the subject line "Peer Review Week".
