The document discusses how academic publishing and peer review is evolving, highlighting some shortcomings of traditional peer review. It describes how PeerJ is addressing these issues through open peer review, objective review criteria focused on scientific validity rather than novelty or interest, attribution and credit for reviewers, and allowing feedback on pre-publication preprints. This provides incentives for timely and high quality reviews while making the review process and discussion more transparent.

This session offers insights into the reviewing process associated with academic journals, which will help you in the roles of both reviewer and author. It will offer advice and reflection on when to accept an invitation to review, and on the benefits and practicalities of the process.
Main focus is on Peer Review of academic manuscript before getting published and its types and ethics to be followed by peer review with advantage and disadvantage of peer review.
Issues of scale when moving from pilot projects to national role out.John Wren
This PPT is a series of reflections following a major evaluation undertaken by the presenters. It reflects on lessons learnt when little things that can be ignored at the pilot project stage become major issues at the large scale. The presentation was given at an extended session at an ANZEA conference
Who "counts" as an author? ...Who doesn't? How do you order author names? How do you explain who did what? Get your questions answered in this quick workshop! (Oct 2023)
Peer review process is the system used to assess the quality of a manuscript before it is published online. Independent professionals/experts/researchers in the relevant research area are subjected to assess the submitted manuscripts for originality, validity and significance to help editors determine whether a manuscript should be published in their journal.
This Peer review process helps in validating the research works, establish a method by which it can be evaluated and increase networking possibilities within research communities. Despite criticisms, peer review is still the only widely accepted method for research validation

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Academic Publishing is Evolving…
The Shortcomings of the Peer Review Process
- The peer review process is usually used to answer 2
unrelated questions: validity and interest.
- The decision of 2 anonymous reviewers determines the fate,
and possible reception, of an article
- The words and thoughts of reviewers are ‘lost’ to the ether
- Authors are unable to demonstrate the work and thought that
went into responding to reviewer comments
- Reviewers get no (tangible) reward
- Reviewers get no (attribution) credit
- There is little incentive to submit a review in a timely manner
- There is little incentive to take on a review in the 1st
place
- Unrealistic expectations are placed on pre-publication peer
review to validate a publication and ‘catch all the errors’.
