will receive a thorough grounding in the principles and practice of refereeing. Co-created, developed and in part delivered by<a href="https://researcheracademy.elsevier.com/certified-peer-reviewer-course-advisory-board-speaker-information"> senior academic editors</a> on leading journals, the course has been specifically designed to give those who have not yet reviewed – or who feel they would like additional training in this area – the skills and confidence to accept a request to review.</p><p>Delivered via directed self-learning in the form of webinars, podcasts and questionnaires, the course can be tackled in your own time. Several core modules must be completed to gain certification, but you can “pick and choose” additional elements to suit your individual learning needs and interests. You can also check out the speakers & advisory board <a href="https://researcheracademy.elsevier.com/certified-peer-reviewer-course-advisory-board-speaker-information">here</a> and you can familiarize yourself with the syllabus <a href="https://researcheracademy.elsevier.com/uploads/2019-09/Certified%20peer%20review%20course%20syllabus.pdf">here</a>. Becoming a certified peer reviewer will allow you to publicly demonstrate your expertise as a referee and will be a clear signal to journal editors that you would be a valuable addition to their reviewer pool. In addition, it is possible that your institution might recognize your certification as evidence of continuing professional education. </p><p>*<em>Please note that completion of the Certified Peer Reviewer course does not guarantee invitation or selection as a reviewer. Furthermore, practices, requirements, instructions and methodologies can vary considerably according to the context in which you are working, the type of journal and the specific editor and title so the examples and suggestions in the course should be taken as illustrative but non-exhaustive. Please refer to your journal’s guide for authors and any specific instructions or advice from the editor or journal for the most relevant instructions for your review.</em></p> <div class="start-learning-button"> <a href="/navigating-peer-review/certified-peer-reviewer-course/introduction-certified-peer-reviewer-course">Get Started</a> </div> </div> <section class="taxonomy-term-era-cycle-era-topic__information"> <h2 class="taxonomy-term-era-cycle-era-topic__information-title">What you will learn</h2> <div class="taxonomy-term-era-cycle-era-topic__objectives"> <ul><li>Understanding of the peer review process</li><li>Advice on writing a helpful peer review report</li><li>Advice on handling ethical issues concerning peer review </li></ul> </div> <div class="taxonomy-term-era-cycle-era-topic__metadata"> <div class="taxonomy-term-era-cycle-era-topic__time"> <h3> Total Time</h3> <p>3+ hours</p> </div> <div class="taxonomy-term-era-cycle-era-topic__modules"> <h3>Complete</h3> <p><span>0</span>/12</p> </div> <div class="taxonomy-term-era-cycle-era-topic__language"> <h3>Language</h3> <p> <span> English</span> </p> </div> </div> </section> <h2> Modules in Certified Peer Reviewer Course</h2> <div class="view view-topic-modules view-id-topic_modules view-display-id-overview"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row"> <div class="node node--type-era-webinar node--promoted node--view-mode-era-module-list-default clearfix node_module_list_default row"> <div class="module-image small-12 columns"> <div class="field field--name-field-era-image field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> <a href="/navigating-peer-review/certified-peer-reviewer-course/introduction-certified-peer-reviewer-course" hreflang="en"><img src="/uploads/styles/era_medium_cropped_400_240/public/2019-08/Elsevier-ResearchersAcademy%20all.jpg?itok=csRVBf81" width="500" height="300" alt="Certified Peer Reviewer Course" loading="lazy" class="image-style-era-medium-cropped-400-240" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-overlay"> <div class="field field--name-field-era-duration field--type-duration field--label-hidden field__item">15 m</div> <div class="field field--name-field-era-cycle field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Certified Peer Reviewer Course</div> </div> </div> <div class="module-content small-12 columns"> <h3><a href="/navigating-peer-review/certified-peer-reviewer-course/introduction-certified-peer-reviewer-course" rel="title">Introduction to the Certified Peer Reviewer Course </a></h3> Would you like to become a certified peer reviewer?
