Hello Everyone!

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Daniela Saderi, Director at PREreview, an open project committed to building equity and transparency into the open scholarly peer review process.

I'm writing to you to share two new opportunities around peer review training, a workshop and open resources, thinking some of you may find it interesting and potentially useful enough to be shared with your communities:

Open Reviewers Workshop — After last year's successful pilot Open Reviewers Program supported by eLife and Mozilla, we have been working on reshaping its content and format into a three-part workshop that can be more easily delivered to research groups in collaboration with research institutions and adapted to specific community needs. More information about the learning objectives and logistics of the workshop can be found on our website. This is part of a recent effort for PREreview to grow our impact and transition from a grant-only funding scheme, to one that includes a "service revenue model" that still remains truthful to our mission and values.

Open Reviewers Toolkit — The workshop's curriculum builds on resources and materials we made openly available on Zenodo, including a Bias Reflection Guide, a Reviewer Guide, and a Review Assessment Rubric, tools we hope will help peer reviewers with an unbiased and constructive composition and assessment of research manuscripts' reviews.

Thank you for reading and for considering sharing this information with your communities!

Warmly,

Daniela

on behalf of the PREreview Team
