Librarians Engineering Our Way to Good Peer Review Feedback: An Interactive Panel on How to Avoid Being Reviewer #2

Abstract

Peer review is a process many of us have engaged in, whether through ASEE or other professional publishing opportunities, both as author and reviewer. Though it is a common part of our academic lives, it is not something that is often taught - there is no Peer Reviewing 101. This interactive panel will give attendees a chance to think critically about the function of peer review, engage with examples of both positive and negative peer review experiences, and thoughtfully discuss ways to improve our own understanding of peer review and methods for conducting peer review well. Our primary audience is for librarians who participate in peer review, either as authors or as reviewers. More broadly, anyone who is in a position to give feedback or constructive criticism in their jobs, whether formally or informally, and internally through work evaluations and externally through formal peer review processes may find this session relevant.
