What is it about?

Peer Review Week starts next Monday, 19 September 2022. It is a global virtual event celebrating the essential role that peer review plays in maintaining research quality. The event brings together scholars and institutions from different fields committed to sharing the central message that quality peer review is critical to scholarly communication.

At MDPI we have invited three experienced and renown scholars to celebrate this important event and participate in a webinar. The event will be moderated by Dr. Ioana Craciun, scientific officer at MDPI, and will be held in a round table format. The main topics for discussion will be:

• How peer review contributes to research integrity.
• Ethical responsibility of reviewers.
• Different ways of selecting reviewers and how to avoid conflicts of interest.
• Key aspects of a good review report.
• Benefits and burdens to be a reviewer.
• Different peer-review models and its future.
