ACCP Peer Review Training


Member Price:
$150.00
Nonmember Price:
$250.00

Peer review is a necessary component in the publication of high-quality manuscripts. The American College of Clinical Pharmacy employs a single-blind peer review for all manuscripts published in its two official journals, Pharmacotherapy and the Journal of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (JACCP). The editors rely on the expertise and efficiency of the editorial board and peer review volunteers.

The ability to provide valuable manuscript peer reviews requires initial training and ongoing practice. Developing a habit of continuous peer review will improve the quality of the peer reviewer's own writing even as the reviewer gives back to the scholarship community. In addition, individuals who provide excellent manuscript peer reviews are often considered for awards, editorial board positions, and invitations to submit manuscripts

This peer review training program is designed to assess participants' current peer reviewing skills and, through training and mentoring, elevate those skills to the level of providing reliably superior manuscript peer reviews. Participants that complete all five modules will be designated as certified peer reviewers in the JACCP peer review database and receive continuing education credit.
