As part of our peer review training at Charlesworth Knowledge, we aim to help young researchers be as effective as possible when participating in this process. It can be daunting as well as flattering to receive a request from a journal to work on a paper; at the same time, how can you quickly and easily put together an effective set of comments to send back to an editor and be a ‘useful’ peer reviewer?

If someone else releases a paper in a similar area or on a similar topic that potentially overlaps with your research (known as scooping), this might be a good thing. This means that your research is broadly interesting, and is corroboration that your question is meaningful.
