Reviewers Happy Hour hosted by the RAS Young Reviewers Program (YRP)
Tuesday, May 14th, 2024 - 6:00/7:00 pm (GMT+9)
Pacifico Conference Center, Yokohama - Room 511+512
- How often do you receive shallow and poorly written reviews for your papers?
- Have you ever doubted the right way to review somebody else’s work?
- Do you really know everything about the review process of the conference/journal where you would like to submit your contribution?
If these questions sound familiar to you and you would like to gain deeper knowledge about related topics, join the Young Reviewers Program Reception!
The objective of the Young Reviewers Program is to assist and guide RAS members toward the best practices in peer review of scientific papers. This event is intended to provide the community with information about RAS’s review process and suggest the best guidelines for reviewing a scientific paper.
Both Senior Reviewers who believe that we never stop learning and Young Reviewers willing to dive into the world of peer review are welcome to drop by, grab a drink, and join us!
There is NO CHARGE for this event, however space is limited. Please REGISTER in advance.
