As you know, Peer Review Week is an annual event dedicated to one of the most pivotal processes in academic publishing \u2013 peer review \u2013 and each year explores a new theme around it.

We\u2019re gearing up to converse about the various aspects of the theme for this year. Have you ever wondered: Do researchers around the world get equal opportunity to review papers irrespective of their career stage, ethnicity, gender, and nationality? Does personal identity influence the way a peer reviewer evaluates a paper?<\/i> How can you as a peer reviewer ensure objectivity?<\/i> If you have, you\u2019ve come to the right place. We\u2019ll be discussing these and more such pertinent questions during Peer Review Week 2021.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
