SIS: Peer Reviewing for PA Journals

This small group activity is designed to provide PAs and PA faculty with an orientation to the responsibilities and expectations of peer reviewers for PA-oriented journals. Presenters will briefly highlight the important role that peer review plays for these journals. Methods and strategies to create a valuable peer review will be discussed and demonstrated. Attendees will have an opportunity to practice peer reviewing a manuscript to gain valuable skills associated with publishing and peer review. Publication of articles and the scholarly review of submitted manuscripts in peer reviewed journals are widely accepted and valued forms of scholarship among institutes of higher education. Scholarship is often an important responsibility, and expectation, for faculty members and clinicians alike.
