Team-Based Coaching Approach to Peer Review: Sharing Service and Scholarship.

Peer review has traditionally been considered an individual activity. While educators are skilled at critical appraisal, many will conduct their first review as a solitary venture, often without formal reviewer training or advice from a mentor. For novice reviewers, this independent approach to peer review misses valuable opportunities for feedback and mentorship that could grow reviewers’ skills and improve the overall quality of peer review. We are reimagining the review process of peer-review performance through a community of practice, and are discussing how this may benefit junior scholars seeking mentorship and improve the peer review processes overall.
