COPE peer review workshop 2020

Registration is now closed as the workshop is full

Peer review workshop

Thursday 24 September 2020, 4.00pm - 5.15pm (BST), online workshop

(COPE Members only)

This year's Peer Review Week is dedicated to 'Trust in peer review'. Peer Review Week 2020 will highlight how the peer review process works and why it helps build trust in research.

During this year’s Peer Review Week, COPE will host a workshop for members where we will work through real cases raised by COPE Members to identify issues in peer review and how to handle them.  

Join us for the workshop where we'll create an online environment for attendees to share ideas, experience, and suggest next steps for each case.

The workshop will be online on the Zoom platform and will follow this format:

  • we begin the sessions together then break out into smaller groups, each facilitated by a Chair
  • in the small groups everyone has a chance to discuss the cases, express their views, and how to resolve the issues arising from the discussion
  • we then come back together where representatives from each group feed back key points raised.

This is an interactive session so please come prepared to participate in the discussion.

Cases for discussion

Case 1 Editor and reviewers requiring authors to cite their own work 

Case 2 Compromised peer review system in published papers  

Case 3 Author requests for certain experts not to be included in the editorial process

Case 4 Author of rejected paper publicly names and criticises peer reviewer
