Talk Summary:

What reviews can reveal about Reviewers?
How to be a successful Author and a valued Reviewer

Reviewing is a crucial activity for publication of research papers, conferences and project applications. It has been very little rewarded. A very few researchers like and enjoy it Everybody wants to publish, nobody to review.

Reviewing reveals a lot about the reviewer. During interviews we all try – willingly or unwillingly look and sound better. When we are on the other side of the fence we are much less on-guard and express our personality, management and research abilities, and even attitude to the other people.

When we honestly answer the points listed in this presentation and some others we can find a good deal about ourselves:

  •   Are we well organised?
  •   Are we efficient?
  •   Are we good nature or sour personalities?
  •   Are we ready to help others by delivering as soon as possible?
