SUMMARY:Free UKSG webinar - Peer review in 2015: a global view - Key findings from the Taylor & Francis white paper
DESCRIPTION:Peer review: much discussed\, much covered\, much maligned\, but what do researchers really think of the system at the heart of scholarly research? Is it as broken as we are sometimes led to believe? How much of a discrepancy is there between expectation and reality? How do views differ between authors\, editors and reviewers? Or across the disciplines – humanities\, social sciences\, science and medicine? \nJoin Elaine Devine and Will Frass of Taylor & Francis as they discuss the findings of a global survey and focus groups conducted in 2015 with authors\, reviewers and editors around the world. \n  \nMore information and registration.
