Over the last 50 years, journal-conducted peer review has become the foundation of how scientific work is evaluated and validated. With an interest in fairness and transparency, mounting concerns about rigor and reproducibility, and opportunities provided by the internet, we feel that the time is ripe to discuss how peer review might be advanced.
Therefore, ASAPbio, Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), and Wellcome are pleased to announce a workshop on “Transparency, Recognition, and Innovation in Peer Review in the Life Sciences” to be held at HHMI headquarters in Chevy Chase, Maryland, February 7-9, 2018.
Due to limited space on-site, in-person participation is by invitation only, but all members of the community can join us virtually on February 7 and February 8, 2018.
To engender broad and open discussion and engage the worldwide scientific community, the keynote lectures, plenary talks, and breakout session reports are open via live video streaming on this page.
We look forward to a conversation that engages diverse stakeholders, perspectives, and opinions.
