Microbial Genomics, the Open Access journal of choice for pioneering research in genomics, supports early career researchers develop skills in reviewing through mentorship on its Early Career Board of Reviewers. This pairs mentees with more experienced reviewers, who offer support and guidance on best practice for effective peer review.
Peer review is vital to publishing, refining the work of fellow researchers and ensuring integrity and credibility. Our reviewers support our work as a not-for-profit organisation, as we support and invest in the microbiology community for the benefit of everyone.
We asked both former and current mentees of the scheme to share their reflections on peer review and their experience of the Early Career Board of Reviewers.
