Peer Review Week 2024

Theme poll announced

Peer Review Week serves as a crucial platform, bringing together researchers, publishers, editors, and other stakeholders within the scholarly community to foster discussions, exchange insights, and acknowledge the significant contributions made to the peer review process.

In our commitment to ensuring that Peer Review Week 2024 effectively addresses pressing issues and accurately reflects the needs of the academic community, we are actively seeking input from all stakeholders. 

Your participation in selecting the theme for the event is invaluable, and we greatly appreciate your assistance in promoting this survey. Click here to take this survey.

The survey consists of a single question presenting four compelling theme options, each exploring different facets of peer review:

🔸 Innovation and Technology in Peer Review

🔸 IDEAs (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access) in Peer Review

🔸 Ethical Integrity in Peer Review

🔸 Optimizing the Researcher Experience in Peer Review

All responses will remain anonymous, and completing the survey will only require a few minutes. The poll closes on Friday, 26 April, so don’t delay…

Peer Review Week 2024 will take place in late September. The exact dates will be announced soon. Last year we had over 6,000 sign ups and nearly 100 events and activities going on throughout the week, and we hope this year will be as busy. Be sure to check out our Events/Activities page and our Resources page from last year as there is still lots to be gained through videos, blogs, checklists and more.
