Manuscript peer review

Discussion Thread: Article Peer Review & Legal/Ethical Discussion

In the previous module you submitted a draft manuscript along with a copy of the manuscript guidelines/requirements in a student-paired group.

In this module you will review each others draft manuscript from the group room against the submitted manuscript submission guidelines, which is also submitted to the group room. Based on this review, each student will post the initial post including the following:

• Name of student author of the draft manuscript reviewed
• Title of the manuscript/ Type of manuscript editorial, research brief, narrative, reflective article, etc.
• Journal manuscript will be submitted to, along with submission guidelines.

You should post a professionally written peer review of the manuscript including a brief overview of the manuscript, areas of strength for the manuscript, clarity, and areas that could be strengthened. All feedback must be written in a supportive manner to enhance the work of the student. Also provide thoughts about the value of a peer review for professional manuscripts for publication.

As professional nurses contributing the body of literature also provide your thoughts on legal and ethical consideration topics such as transference of copyright, open access journals and avoiding predatory journals and how you will protect professional expectations.
