This presentation will discuss the use of the peer review system. It will cover certain key elements that are common to the review of manuscripts, grant applications, individuals, etc. The ethics of peer review will be examined regarding aspects of confidentiality, bias and conflict of interest, professionalism, and commitment. Suggestions will be made on ways to make the review more useful to the intended audience: an editor or grant administrator, an author or applicant, etc. This will include a list of “Do’s and Don’ts” that can be used as guidelines for creation of a good great review.
