Common Mistakes
This section provides opportunities to explore common mistakes made by novice peer reviewers. These mistakes range from major (ex. subject recruitment, measurement instruments, data analysis, etc.) to minor (ex. abstract not in the format required by journal, references, tables/figures, etc.). It is acknowledged that there can often be a conflict between the reviewers’ and authors’ perspectives. If authors perceive reviewers to be wrong or misguided, the authors should document to the editor or program officer why their approach is correct for the situation and why the reviewer’s suggestion may not work.
Each mistake will be identified by a specific title. Users should select a mistake from the list by clicking on the item. Each common mistake will begin with a brief introductory scenario followed by a sample paper excerpt, citation, etc. The user will then be asked to identify the mistake. Feedback regarding the response will then be provided.
