How to be a GREAT Peer Reviewer
September 26, 2022
•62m
In this podcast we share top tips on how to avoid being Reviewer #2. Our guests talk through the importance (and flaws) of the peer review process, how they approach it, how you can write papers to help avoid a bad review, and the benefits of getting involved. Adam Smith, Dementia Researcher Programme Director talks with Dr Yvonne Couch, ARUK Research Fellow and Associate Professor at University of Oxford, Dr Isabel Castanho, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School and Dr Martina Bocchetta, Senior Research Fellow at University College London. -- Peer review is essential in assisting editors in selecting high quality, novel research papers, and to ensure errors are corrected. Though the peer review process still has some flaws, a more suitable screening method for scientific papers has not yet been developed (UK Research & Innovation has announced a review of the peer review system). So... for now we’re stuck with it (although our recent survey has identified some ways that the process could be improved e.g. blinding, compensating reviewers etc.). -- Peer review training courses: Nature Masterclass: https://bit.ly/3C3tDd7 Wiley Training: https://bit.ly/3r6FYGU Elsevier Academy: https://bit.ly/3BEFf4X RC Psych Training: https://bit.ly/3LCqfZO Fundamentals of peer review: https://bit.ly/3g4WPaT -- You can find out more about our panellists, and their work on our website.

How to create a Narrative CV

In this podcast Dr Yvonne Couch, Associate Professor of Neuroimmunology and ARUK Research Fellow at University of Oxford is joined by four experts to discuss Narrative CV’s, why they’re being introduced, and how to build one. Prefer to watch rather than listen? Find the video version of this podcast exclusively on YouTube. -- This weeks guests are: Dr Katie Meadmore, Senior Research Fellow, National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Evaluation, Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre (NETSCC), University of Southampton. Dr Ola Thomson, Research Associate in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at University of Bristol, the Elizabeth Blackwell Institute for Health Research. Dr Rosa Sancho, Head of Research at Alzheimer’s Research UK. Dr Claartje Vinkenburg an Independent Expert Consultant in careers and diversity working with Universities, European Commission and Research Funders. -- Background In October 2019 The Royal Society published “Résumé for Researchers”, and since then many UK and European research funders have adopted the requirement for grant applicants to use a Narrative CV, including UK Research & Innovation, Alzheimer’s Research UK, Dutch Research Council and Science Foundation Ireland. A Narrative CV is a content-rich alternative to the traditional CV. It enables applicants to showcase a broader range of contributions to research e.g., Science Communications, teaching, mentoring etc. Through the use if this new format, funders hope address concerns that they is an over focus on success measures such as publications in high impact journals and big grant funding (although of course these still help). -- Resources UK Research & Innovation R4RI Guidance - https://www.ukri.org/apply-for-funding/improving-your-funding-experience/introducing-a-better-way-for-you-to-evidence-your-contributions/ ARUK Narrative CV Guidance - https://www.alzheimersresearchuk.org/research/for-researchers/resources-and-information/narrative-cvs/ Royal Society Résumé for Researchers - https://royalsociety.org/topics-policy/projects/research-culture/tools-for-support/resume-for-researchers/ Dr Katie Meadmore, Thematic Framework for use of Narrative CV - https://openresearch.nihr.ac.uk/documents/2-15 DORA Guidance on progressing adoption - https://sfdora.org/resource/using-narrative-cvs-process-optimization-and-bias-mitigation/ Hows and Whys from University of Bristol - https://www.bristol.ac.uk/blackwell/news/2021/narrative-cvs-blog.html -- You can find out more about our panellists, and their work on our website.
