Get Involved!

Promoting the essential role that peer review plays in maintaining research quality has never been more important. We invite all publishers, editors, researchers, librarians, scholarly and scientific societies, universities, funding bodies, and anyone interested in advancing high-quality research to join us during Peer Review Week (PRW) for this celebration and learning experience.

PRW is a distributed virtual global community event – so anyone can take part in it, and any organization can host a PRW activity. To share any resources or events your organization is planning for PRW, please fill out this Google Form. We will be collating a list of PRW resources and events and promoting them via the PRW website and social media channels. Below are examples of the many ways you can get involved in PRW:

Host a webinar or virtual panel discussion (or attend one!)
Submit a video for the Peer Review Week YouTube channel
Write a blog post related to the PRW theme
Organize or participate in a peer-review themed social media campaign
Attend one of the PRW Reddit AMAs — or organize your own
Join the discussion on Twitter by following @PeerRevWeek and using this year’s hashtag: #PeerReviewWeek22

However you decide to celebrate PRW, be sure to let us know so we can help spread the word! Below are more details on how to share PRW events/resources and take part in planned activities.

How can I submit a video for the Peer Review Week YouTube channel?

We are currently seeking videos on the Peer Review Week theme, RESEARCH INTEGRITY, to be uploaded to our official YouTube channel.

This is a great opportunity to tell the research community about the work you have been doing, share your insights, and contribute to our permanent library of useful knowledge and expertise.

See our video submission guide for ideas on how to approach the theme and important technical details for recording and submitting videos.

Your videos need not be long (even 30 seconds is plenty of time to impart some impactful information!) but no more than 3 minutes please.

You may approach this subject however it is relevant to you. We welcome any and all insights that can inform and inspire the research publishing community.

We take care of editing PRW video submissions and uploading them to YouTube — all you need to do is come up with what you would like to say, put yourself in front of a camera, and say it! (though if you would like to get creative and produce a snazzy video yourself, then feel free!)

Please send us your files via this contributor form by the 15th September to ensure timely inclusion in the events week.

We very much look forward to your submissions!
