If you\u2019ve been keeping up with our activities this month, you already know that September was a busy month for us. We celebrated the fifth year of Peer Review Week<\/a><\/span><\/span>, and we were very excited to be on the Organizing Committee this year. Throughout the week, several professionals and entities in academic publishing took to Twitter to join the celebrations, participate in discussions, and share their opinions on this year\u2019s theme \u2013 Quality in Peer Review. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Both the Peer Review Week hashtags \u2013\u00a0#PeerRevWk19<\/a><\/span><\/span> and #QualityInPeerReview<\/a><\/span><\/span>\u00a0\u2013 were flooded with interesting peer review-related posts in multiple formats. Was it challenging for you to keep up with trending Twitter conversations over the course of five days? To ensure you didn\u2019t miss anything, we\u2019ve compiled a short list of tweets that were most engaged with and trended on one or both hashtags despite tough competition. We hope this gives you a snapshot of the most interesting conversations in the academic publishing industry during Peer Review Week 2019!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
