Peer Review Week 2021 highlights

What an awesome week Peer Review Week was! There have been many new firsts for the PRW 2021 Steering Committee. They include voting for the theme of PRW for the first time using a poll that the international community could take part in to have their say. Updating the Peer Review Week website. And holding the first Peer Review Week Panel discussion. It was an absolute honour for me to take part as a panelist. You can listen to the first Peer Review Week Panel discussion dedicated to the PRW 2021 theme of identity here:

What's more is that I am happy to say as co-chair of the Marketing & Communications subcommittee that we managed to schedule a promo tweet for each PRW activity. What is also amazing that the Events & International Outreach subcommittee helped organise the 'China Online Forum', in which more than 1,300 people participated including researchers, STM journal editors and library and information personnel. Another highlight was that I had the privilege to contribute to the seventh ScienceTalks event that was held on the ScienceNet blog where the topic was 'Navigating peer review feedback: How can authors respond to reviewer comments'. It was real fun as a panelist to answer as many questions as possible from an international audience within the timeframe of two hours!

It was also a great honour to contribute as a panelist to the Researcher Live - Edanz co-sponsored panel discussion in the Q&A on 'Identity in peer review'. You can listen to the panel discussion here: https://www.researcher-app.com/paper/8756511
