Reviewer Training Workshop for Early-Career Researchers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Colleague,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acta Radiologica is pleased to invite early-career researchers to participate in a Reviewer Training Workshop<\/strong>, designed to provide practical training in the peer-review process and to prepare participants for future involvement as reviewers for the journal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop will combine a short introduction to the principles and responsibilities of peer review with hands-on work on a mock manuscript, followed by discussion of current challenges related to artificial intelligence in research and peer review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No previous experience as a reviewer is required.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop is free of charge.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
