Product Description
Product Description
How to Survive Peer Review is a practical handbook designed to help anybody who wants to get their work published in a scientific journal, wants to apply for research funds or who has to undergo formal appraisals at work. It will also help people who have been asked to review articles, abstracts or grant applications. These activities are an essential part of scientific life, yet they virtually never get covered in professional training. It is often difficult even to get any helpful information about the processes from journals, meetings or funders. For the first time, this book brings together all you need to know, with authoritative advice from three authors who have researched peer review extensively and have considerable practical experience as researchers, editors and reviewers.
From the Back Cover
This practical guide gives you valuable advice on how to survive the process of peer review in all its forms. From explaining exactly what it is to the detail of submitting your paper or abstract it steers you through the main obstacles to getting research funded, published or presented.
How to Survive Peer Review is also for reviewers themselves: poacher turned gamekeeper—it is likely that you will be asked to peer review too. In concise, easy to follow style this book provides essential information for reviewers of scientific papers, conference abstracts and grant proposals.
It addresses too the increasingly important area of professional peer review, now being adopted in career appraisal. Another unique feature is a chapter on informal peer review and how to benefit from this in a wide range of situations.
The comprehensive contents include:
- What is peer review?
- How to be a reviewer
- Surviving peer review
- Professional peer review
- Informal peer review
Written by three of the best known figures in the field of peer review this is an authoritative yet highly readable aid for all healthcare professionals who want to advance their careers and increase their publication list.

Format:Paperback
The "How to......" series from BMJ books published by Blackwell, who of course are now Wiley Blackwell are an excellent set of books with a common style and a uniform format. As such many comments and observations are applicable across the range. First and foremost these books are nearly all the same handy size, each a different colour and look good on the shelf.
With the exception of the front cover these books are a world of black and white, even the boxes of importance are a sparkling shade of grey! We are all too aware of the global thought in relation to colour publications: The rainbow is in!!
I'm not sure what makes this the weak link, whether it is the poor colour choice that is not in keeping with the other books or whether it's the fact that its old and almost added as an afterthought.
Despite my initial pessimism, I found this book extremely interesting and was pleased to find that it did not merely confine itself to peer review publication. Grant proposal peer review is also described as are other forms of the process.
There are 6 chapters in all, each then further divided to allow "sectioning" of the material offered. The other great thing about this book is that it looks at the process of peer review from both sides of the fence: manuscript submission and also the role of the reviewer.
There are multiple tables throughout, my personal favourite being on page 33: "How to ensure that your paper is rejected" - oh how expert we all are in this!!
In honesty a surprisingly decent book - and small enough for a single sitting!
