Reviewer Workshop at cirse 2019

At CIRSE 2019, Klaus Hausegger (CVIR Editor-in-Chief) and Raman Uberoi (CVIR Deputy Editor-in-Chief) held their first workshop on best reviewing practices for the journal. Both existing and those interested in reviewing were invited to join. The workshop was well attended, with more than 70 people in attendance!

A few take home messages from the workshop:

• Read the invitation to review carefully, look at the article type of the paper and read the abstract.

• Reply to an invitation in a timely manner.

• If the deadline is too short, please ask for an extension.

• Reviewers can also include in their reply the time period in which they will be away and not able to review. If you are busy or the paper is not in your area of expertise, please decline.

• If you cannot do the review yourself, recommend another colleague who might be able to.

• The newly implemented reviewer template in Editorial Manager, tailored to the structure of each article type, helps reviewers make structured, detailed and objective comments.

A big thank you to all participants!

Future workshops will be offered, stay tunned for updates on the 2020 workshops.
