General information

Academic year:
2025
Description:
In certain fields more and more doctoral students decide to structure their thesis as a compendium of publications. This fact generates the need during the course of the PhD to deal with the publication process, which includes anonymous peer reviews of the manuscripts produced. Dealing properly with peer review is not an easy task. This course will present the key elements for understanding review reports, dealing with them and using them to improve the manuscript and maximise its probability of acceptance.
