Science faces a reproducibility crisis. As the total number of research outputs continue to grow, researchers need a reliable indicator of what and who to trust. The peer review process remains the bastion of research integrity, and in this special IOP Peer Review Excellence webinar, we’ll give you an introduction to what we do at IOP Publishing and what you can do as a reviewer to support it. We’ll address topics including types of research misconduct, peer review ethics, whistleblowing as a reviewer, and what further training and certification is available to you.
