Responsible Conduct of Research: Peer Review
Publication Date
2006
Abstract
This Quick Guide is intended for self-paced learning for novice researchers participating in a peer review of research proposals and scientific articles submitted for publication. The objectives of this Quick Guide are to:
* Increase awareness of common mistakes and dilemmas that novice peer reviewers can face while reviewing either research proposals or scientific articles.
* Offer strategies providing constructive criticism to the authors of these works.
The purpose of the Quick Guide is to promote education and training in the responsible conduct of research (RCR) covering Peer Review. Users are requested to use the Quick Guide prior to reviewing research proposals or articles. The Quick Guide is not meant to be a comprehensive resource on peer review but is intended only to be a supplementary resource for self-paced learning. The quick guide is intended as a "just in time' learning" opportunity, to be used as a supplement to other RCR materials.
The content pages of this Quick Guide include sample scenarios that provide users (taking on the role of a novice peer reviewer) an opportunity to identify and critique common mistake that may be encountered when reviewing research proposals and research articles submitted for publication. Additional scenarios offer users the opportunity to make decisions in the face of challenging dilemmas.
