| Summary: | Peer review not only helps to maintain The quality and integrity of literature in your field, it’s key to your own development as a researcher. It’s a great way to keep abreast of current research, impress editors at elite journals, and hone your critical analysis skills. We collect 12 steps to review an article. Method: We asked an expert panel of researchers what steps they take to ensure a thorough and robust review. We then compiled their advice into 12 easy steps, useful for both first-time peer reviewers and those keen to brush up on their skills. Conclusions: It’s worth bearing in mind that each of these 12 steps deserves a publication in its own right. If you’d like a more complete picture of peer review and to make use of our very own Review Template, sign up for our Publons Academy. This free on-demand course teaches you the core competencies of peer reviewing and connects you with journal editors, so you can put your skills into practice.
