Welcome back to the Peer Review Toolbox! Last autumn, we covered the origins and discussed best-practices for reviewing in our Essentials Series.
In the New Year, we’re excited to turn our attention to some of the practical questions you ask most--like, how exactly do you get that first reviewer invitation? When should you decline a review? And how well do you really have to know someone before it counts as a COI? We hope you’ll join us!
Got questions you’d like us to address in future issues? Email us at reviewers@plos.org and let us know! | |
Building a career in research is a little like making a snowball. Each contribution leads to something new, an accelerating accumulation of reputation and expertise: publishing an article leads to a reviewer invitation; a poster presentation leads to a collaboration--and a few more reviewer invitations. But opportunities may be few and far between at first. Here are easy things you can do right now to help editors find you.
