{"doi":"10.1093/ajhp/zxac005","title":"Supplying the pipeline of peer review: A call to engage new practitioners","abstract":"Peer review is a process in which a proposed body of work is evaluated by a group of experts in the appropriate field.1-3 Peer review is not only essential to ensuring the integrity of biomedical research—it also encourages authors to improve their work based on feedback from their given discipline, as reviewers are often identified by their content area expertise. Currently, new practitioners typically make up only a small fraction of volunteer journal reviewers as well as those assigned to review articles. This is at odds with prior literature indicating, based on editor comments and evaluations, that younger reviewers (less than 40 years of age) may be associated with stronger, more high-quality peer review.4-7 In the New Practitioners Forum (NPF) Clinical Practice Advisory Group term during the 2018-2019 American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Volunteer Year (July-June), advisory members conducted an analysis of the availability and need for content and resources focused on research. Members suggested future action steps for gaps identified over the breadth of the research process to address the current state, the availability of content, and whether additional content was needed. Areas assessed included project planning, conducting research, the writing process, peer review, and presenting, with gaps identified in manuscript preparation, publication, and peer review. The gap analysis noted that materials were available to new practitioners, yet additional content and education would add value. NPF leadership used the findings from gap analysis and conversations with ASHP staff to ascertain that additional support was needed for peer review. The authors determined that educational opportunities around peer review should be prioritized for new practitioner members.","journal":"American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy","year":2022,"id":305565,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":0,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.964,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2022-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":999420,"name":"Carolyn M.
