What Can You Learn Conducting a Manuscript Peer Review?by Brian Carter, MD

Being a peer reviewer for a journal is a scholarly activity that is recognized as research when applying for promotion at the SOM.   Academic faculty are often called upon to be peer reviewers of manuscripts submitted to journals for publication. But how does one conduct a review? What is important? And how much, or little, should be said? In this OFD presentation Dr. Brian Carter, the Editor-in-Chief of Clinical Pediatrics, will address the importance of the peer review process and how you can become a good reviewer.
