A module on the revision and rebuttal process in peer review.
After a short general introduction on the review process, the module starts with students reading the original version of a published research article, along with the reviewer reports on this version. The students then form small groups to discuss one comment made by one of the reviewers. (Each group addresses a different comment). The students then give short presentations on the reasons for the comment, and outline how they would address it. The author of the paper (the invited speaker) gives feedback on the presentations, and explains how they responded to the comment. Finally, there is a discussion of the decision letter from the editor. Following the module, the invited speaker gives an institute-wide research seminar, which the students also attend.
