====================================================================
What's Covered:
Over the course of the past three years, a significant amount of attention has been given to examining the effectiveness of the peer review process in the context of scholarly publishing as it transitions fully to a digital environment.  Peer review is a key source and driver of trust in scholarly publications and, in a 2015 report commissioned by The Wellcome Foundation entitled Scholarly Communication and Peer Review: The Landscape and Future Trends<http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/stellent/groups/corporatesite/@policy_communications/documents/web_document/wtp059003.pdf>, emerging concerns about the peer review process are raised. The report highlights the need to move towards greater transparency; greater interaction between editors, authors and reviewers; and the need for scholarly credit and recognition for reviewer contributions.

In this hour and 45-minute NFAIS webinar, attendees will hear about emerging changes to the handling of peer review in the current environment, new entrants into the marketplace, and changes that emphasize transparency and collaborative feedback in improving scholarly outputs from the perspective of traditional publishers, non-traditional publishers, and publication service providers.

Attendees will learn:

  *   How the objective of peer review has changed.
  *   New expectations for peer review, and case studies on how they are being met.
  *   The pressures placed on publishers in supporting the evolving peer review process.
  *   The virtues and challenges of using pre-publication and post-publication peer review.
  *   The use of blockchain technology in building an open, transparent peer review system.

Join us on Tuesday, February 9, to delve into the evolving peer review processes that provide greater transparency, collaboration, and recognition.
