We greatly appreciate the efforts of our distinguished reviewers, and would like to repay them with this unique opportunity for professional development. We believe that by further improving the skills of our reviewers, we will improve the review process and the quality of the work we publish. This workshop is offered on an invitation-only basis, and a certificate of attendance will be offered after completion of the workshop. 
 
We hope that you'll join us!
 
Participation is free of charge, but registration is required and spaces are limited.
 
Upon completion of this workshop you will also be eligible to attend our Advanced Reviewer Workshop offered exclusively to our reviewers during the 2022 IAMSE Meeting in Denver in June. If that is of interest to you, please contact us after the conclusion of the basics workshop.
