1.1 What is peer review? Why peer review?

About this video

To prepare you for the Certified Peer Reviewer course, in this first section, we take a step back and discuss the history of academic publishing and explain the status quo of peer review. We delve into the process of peer review as it is today and what happens to a paper before you see it as a reviewer. We discuss why reviewers even need to review, and what editors and reviewers look for when looking at a manuscript.
