<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What's Covered:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="color:black;background:white">Editors and writers know that talking about implicit bias can be tricky but essential, especially in a "post-truth" world, and can ultimately lead to
more inclusive and accurate content. Among researchers, talk of bias in the role of peer review for scholarly communication continues to include diverging opinions and demands for change.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="color:black">Understanding what is happening, why it occurs and who the players are, allows us to develop newer models in a more socially open environment while maintaining impartiality,
integrity and high quality as the ideal in peer review.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="color:black">This webinar will examine what bias exists in STM and Humanities scholarship, by whom, and the solutions that can be implemented so that knowledge continues to flow
in a way that does not circumvent the relationship between researchers and reviewers, and supports a reliable scholarly communication process based on sound research practice, academic reward and funding.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="color:black">In this <b>NFAIS Webinar, </b>Lisa Phillips, senior content editor at EBSCO Information Services, and Catherine Cocks, senior acquisition editor at the University of
