The ninth Peer Review Congress, scheduled for September 8-10, 2022, has announced the official call for abstracts. Details are available in this Editorial, co-published by JAMA and the BMJ, and on the Congress website. Interested parties may watch the virtual symposium if you want to hear specifics from organizers of the Congress.
Every four year since 1989, the Peer Review Congress has brought together researchers, journal editors and all those who participate in the reporting and publication of scientific research, in order to put their own processes under scrutiny. The meetings have helped stimulate research into peer review and scientific publication — including studies of bias, reporting standards, prospective registration and many more topics.
The deadline for abstract submissions will be January 31, 2022, and the website will open for abstracts submissions on December 1, 2021.
The Congress was originally anchored by medical journals – the JAMA network, the BMJ and the Meta-Research Innovation Center (METRICS) at Stanford as its organizers and planners – but it now embraces a wide range of disciplines. Sharing findings and experimentation across disciplinary boundaries is particularly important. The audience of this meeting is unique and includes researchers, editors, funders, information innovators, policymakers, ethicists, journalists and more.
