Abstract

Scholarly peer review is critical to the scientific process, yet there are limited resources available for students, postdocs, and other early career researchers (ECRs) to learn how to perform effective and time-efficient review. The ASLO Raelyn Cole Editorial Fellows have developed several peer review training resources, including a webinar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utntl1VGy5g), editorial (Gradoville and Deemer 2022), and review (Falkenberg and Soranno 2018). One key issue identified in our webinar is that English language issues present significant challenges, both for authors and for reviewers. Indeed, the use of English as the primary language of science is a source of inequity (Ramírez-Castañeda 2020) that can lead to disadvantages for English as a second language (ESL) authors and reviewers.
