Peer Review Week 2023

KGL Explores the Future of Publishing

Peer Review Week is an annual event to celebrate the value of peer review that brings together scholarly communication stakeholders, including academic publishers, associations, institutions, and researchers. This year’s theme is Peer Review and The Future of Publishing and takes place around the world during the week of September 25-29.
