Navigating the peer-review process is a complex, yet essential skill for anyone involved in academia. Yet, it is not always easy to understand how to optimally interact with reviewers. Combining the perspective and experience of an “outsider” (as an author and university administrator) and “insider” (as a reviewer and editor, and as a publisher), this workshop will demystify the peer-review process, focusing on the “reviewer” experience. Featuring a scholar acting as Editor-in-Chief of several journals, and a publisher having held a variety of major publishing portfolio, three main points will be addressed: firstly, how to be a better reviewer; secondly, how to better respond to, and navigate, reviewers in the peer-review process; and thirdly, how being a reviewer can not only enhance one’s understanding of the peer-review process, but can help develop one’s career path and support overall professional development.
