AIM OF THE WORKSHOP
This workshop will introduce PhD students and early career academics to the practices associated with being an accomplished, constructive and respected reviewer. Effective reviewers learn from the review process and, as a result, can see how to improve their own publications. Good reviewers are also recognised by the community and are often offered opportunities that enhance their academic profile, including journal editorial positions and conference track positions. The workshop will be interactive. Refreshments will be provided.

Workshop attendees will:
• develop an understanding of the life cycle of a review from a journal's perspective by following a paper through the review process and making a decision based on real reviews
• recognise the range of ethical issues that can be faced by reviewers
• appreciate how reviews can help develop papers at different stages of the review process
• understand the differences in review process across journals.

ENDORSEMENTS

PREPARATION (Important information for people who have signed up for the workshop)
In preparation for the workshop I would like to invite you to act as a reviewer for this paper http://personal.lse.ac.uk/whitley/paper.pdf . This is a version of a paper that was submitted to the journal I edit, Information Technology and People.

I would ask that you use the “review form” for the paper, based on the one used by the journal http://personal.lse.ac.uk/whitley/reviewform.doc .

If possible please bring along 5 printed copies of your review.

I hope you enjoy reading (and reviewing) the paper and I look forward to meeting you at the workshop.
