Peer Review Week, Sep 28 - Oct 2, 2015
We are delighted to inform you that, as part of our commitment to peer review and the invaluable role that it plays in maintaining scientific quality, Wiley is partnering with ORCID, Sense about Science and Science Open for a week of peer review celebrations.
The idea for Peer Review Week grew out of informal conversations this summer between our four organizations - each of us has a different perspective on peer review and we were all working independently on various initiatives to better support it. Joining forces enables us to share our central message - that good peer review, whatever shape or form it might take, is critical to scholarly communications - more widely and powerfully.
Peer Review Week runs from Monday, September 28 to Friday, October 2, to coincide with Sense About Science’s Annual Lecture at The British Library on 28th. We'll be announcing our plans for Peer Review Week publicly on September 10 but wanted you to be the first to know.
