Mastering Peer Reviews: Tips from Addiction's Editor-in-Chief
“When you send an article to a journal, you think, well, this must be good enough. But you need another set of eyes on it. You need someone else who's not been involved in the study to have a look at it.”
Ever wondered what it takes to craft a stellar peer review? In this episode of 'Addiction Audio', Suzi Gage sits down with Robert West, the Editor-in-Chief of the journal 'Addiction', to break down their new reviewer guidelines. This conversation, originally recorded in October 2018, offers a treasure trove of practical advice for anyone involved in academic publishing.
West sheds light on the dual purpose of these guidelines: evaluating if an article meets the journal's standards and helping authors refine their manuscripts. He emphasizes the importance of pinpointing key issues swiftly to make the review process more efficient, and he shares tips on using clear and respectful language when suggesting revisions. One standout piece of advice? Keep your cool and stay objective, even if you've collaborated with the author before.
This episode is a must-listen for researchers, students, and anyone curious about the inner workings of academic publishing. Tune in to get the lowdown on how to write and receive reviews like a pro.
