Description: Peer review, sometimes also called expert review, is a fact of academic life. As graduate students and early career researchers (ECRs) it is an opportunity to build your CVs and provide a valuable service to your field. This session will introduce you to the review processes for journal articles. You will learn how to quickly parse information and provide effective and balanced feedback in an efficient manner.

This webinar will be hosted by the Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editor of the RATE Journal (Journal of Rehabilitation & Assistive Technologies Engineering). They will share details on the JRATE reviewer and publishing opportunities available to AGE-WELL HQP and ECRs, and EPIC-AT Fellows.
