Information about the WUR Library session within the workshop Reviewing a scientific manuscript, organised by the Wageningen Graduate Schools.

Peer review is a vital part of publishing scientific articles. As an author, you’re also expected to contribute by reviewing the work of others. But for many early-career researchers, it’s not always clear where to start or how to approach a manuscript review.
