Course title
How to get clinical research published—knowing the peer review process
Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
1. Perform a peer review of a scientific paper using a systematic approach
2. Communicate the review to the editor and author
3. Critically discuss the ethics and limitations of peer review
4. Apply a reviewer’s perspective to your own research
Knowledge: Participants will understand the rationale and background for the peer review, gain knowledge on different aspects of the peer review process, and identify key issues in reviewing a paper.
Skills: Participants will be able to apply a systematic approach to peer reviewing, review a paper and communicate their review appropriately, and analyse and relate their knowledge on the peer review to their own projects and papers.
Competencies: Participants will be able to perform a peer review and assess others’ works, reflect on the peer review process, discuss the limitations of the peer review and put the peer review into perspective.
Content
Introduction to the peer review process and the rationale for peer review. Evidence for peer review and issues concerning for example bias, blinding and transparency, and conflicts of interests. Going “behind” the paper: evaluating the research question, originality, theoretical framework and presentation. A systematic approach to reviewing the core of the paper: the abstract, the introduction, the material and methods, the discussion and conclusion. A brief introduction to common statistical errors and pitfalls. Communicating the review constructively. Special considerations regarding qualitative research, the systematic review and guidelines as per the Equator-network, such as PRISMA. Perspectives on peer review: the post-publication peer review and the significance of peer review to the public.
