Peer Review Week
2023-09-25 - 2023-09-29
This year’s Peer Review Week (PRW), an annual event to celebrate the value of peer review that brings together scholarly communication stakeholders, including academic publishers, associations, institutions, and researchers, will be dedicated to the theme “Peer Review and The Future of Publishing.” During the week of September 25-29, 2023, participating organizations will host events and activities to highlight the changing publishing landscape and the ongoing vital role of peer review in shaping scholarly communication.
Peer Review Week is a global event celebrating the essential role that peer review plays in maintaining research quality. It brings together individuals, institutions, and organizations committed to sharing the central message that good peer review, whatever shape or form it might take, is critical to scholarly communications. We organize events, webinars, interviews, and social media activities.
More details are available on the EASE blog: https://ease.org.uk/2023/07/peer-review-week-2023-explores-the-future-of-publishing/

UKRIO Webinar: Correcting the scholarly record and dispelling myths around corrections
2023-09-20 10:00 - 11:00 (Europe/London)
A core part of publication ethics is the correction of published research affected by errors or misconduct.
This UKRIO webinar aims to explain both the process of fixing errors and misconceptions about corrections, focusing on journal articles, and to answer the questions:

Who decides what needs to be corrected?
What are the responsibilities of editors, journals, research institutions, and authors?
How are corrections done and what form do they take?
How do readers know when work has been corrected?
What are the barriers to correcting the scholarly literature – and, hopefully, the solutions to these problems?

Lead by expert speakers, this session will draw on their experience in handling corrections and developing editorial policies.
