A new repository of ongoing training opportunities for authors, reviewers and editors

A Repository of Ongoing Training Opportunities is available on the WAME website. It includes a list of ongoing training opportunities for authors of peer-reviewed scientific publications, manuscript peer reviewers, and editors of scientific journals.

The repository was developed as part of a Canadian Institutes of Health Research funded project led by Dr David Moher and Dr James Galipeau. The project also included a systematic review of the effectiveness of training programs in writing for scholarly publication, manuscript peer review, and journal editing (i.e., journalology). The purpose of the repository is to provide a resource for authors, peer reviewers, and editors to obtain information about the range of training options that exist in to improve the quality of reporting of studies in scientific journals.
