Episode 9 - Peer Review Integrity: Mentoring Early Career Researchers

Helium

Gary McDowell and Becki Lijek from the Future of Research joined us for conversation about better practices around peer review processes. We learned about the Future of Research (Gary is the Executive Director). FoR is now focused on getting better data on early career researchers. This means getting a handle on how many postdocs are out there and where they are going. Their goal is to give more transparency to the whole process. They also share many insights about the struggles of early career researchers (e.g., postdocs) and how that should play into mentoring them. They are running a survey on peer review with early career researchers. The survey link is in the show notes.
