Peer reviewers play a central and critical part in the scientific peer-review process. Peer-reviewers help journal editors and the scientific community determine the integrity of the scholarly scientific record (COPE). Participation in scientific peer-review is a major contribution to biomedical research and public health. However, many peer-reviewers come to the role without any guidance on best practices in peer reviewing and are largely unaware of how peer-reviewing services can be used to support their academic career development.

Course Outcomes
The interactive workshop will cover how to write a scientific manuscript from introduction to conclusion, and :

•  Top 10 tips for conducting a top-notch peer review;
• Converting peer-review into service for career development;
• Documenting peer-review for tenure and promotion reviews;
