Join the Research Audiologist Information and Support Network (RAISN) for a webinar designed to introduce audiologists to the academic peer review process. Members of the current Journal of the American Academy of Audiology (JAAA) editorial board will provide an overview of the JAAA editorial model and the peer review process. The review process is collaborative between reviewers, editors and authors to ensure JAAA advances work that is rigorous and of the highest quality. Presenters will share tips and tricks for conducting efficient and effective peer review of manuscripts. Research ethics will be emphasized. Opportunities to serve as a reviewer for JAAA and to join the editorial board will be discussed.
