Session 2 Summary: Peer review is an important part of the publication process. This second session of this series focuses on the role of the peer reviewer in the systematic process for the meaningful review of manuscripts. The webinar will tackle questions that are considered in peer review like:

· Is the paper well-written and up-to-date with the existing body of knowledge on the topic?

· Does the work make a significant contribution to the field?

· Does the paper present interesting or novel ideas?

· Is the research likely to impact practice or discussion in the discipline?
