Join the editors of Mount Sinai’s Journal of Scientific Innovation in Medicine, Drs. Michael Leitman, Brian Nickerson, Jose Silva, and Kristine Alpi, to learn more about the important role you can play as a peer reviewer and how reviewing strengthens your own publications, mentoring skills, service portfolio and reputation.  All are welcome.  This session will be followed by Part 2 in January about writing a helpful article critique.

Learning objectives:

• Discuss how editors identify peer reviewers and how to set up your peer reviewer profile to be discovered.  
• Explore peer review evaluation forms and recognize what you are being asked to evaluate, including how to handle aspects you feel may be outside your expertise.
• Gain insight into how editors decide what elements from reviews require authors revisions, and your role in reviewing author responses and making recommendations.
