Reviewer Academy

The SCCM Reviewer Academy contains a series of five educational modules to teach, standardize, and ultimately improve the quality of reviews of manuscripts submitted to SCCM journals. Developed with the editors of SCCM journals, this course creates a structured curriculum for trainees and junior faculty to introduce review processes, develops skills required for high-quality reviews, and better defines a path to incorporate this voluntary academic work into a wider variety of professional roles.
