Peer Review Week at UND Sept. 19-22

Come celebrate Peer Review Week, Sept. 19-22, with a panel of UND faculty members and a workshop open to all!

Peer Review Week is an annual scholarly communication event celebrating the value of peer review. This year at UND, the Chester Fritz and School of Medicine and Health Sciences Libraries are partnering to bring you two cross-campus events focused on this year’s theme of “Research Integrity: Creating and supporting trust in research.”

Our first event, held at 11 a.m. on Sept. 20, features a panel of faculty from across the University, and will focus on the ethics of peer review and best practices for guiding students through a sometimes murky publication process.

Register here for the Sept. 20 panel

Panelists:

  • Alexandra Sickler, J.D., Professor of Law, UND School of Law
  • Melanie Nadeau, Ph.D., M.P.H., Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, Graduate Program Director and Assistant Professor, Department of Indigenous Health, UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences
  • Prakash Ranganathan, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering, UND College of Engineering & Mines
  • RaeAnn Anderson, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist, Assistant Professor, UND Dept. of Psychology

Our second event of the week, to be held at 11 a.m. on Sept. 22, is a virtual workshop focused on building skills in navigating the peer review process in an active small-group based environment. All skill levels are welcome to this workshop, including faculty, staff, and students.
