Abstract

This chapter discusses the challenges that student writers face in getting their work published in international peer reviewed journals and aspects of the peer review process that they need to understand in order to achieve this. Many of the difficulties student authors face in this process are due to their unfamiliarity with the procedures, practices, and expectations of peer review. In addition, students are often unsure of how to interpret and respond to reviews of their work. The chapter outlines typical features of reviewers’ reports and, in particular, aspects of the reports that students often find difficult to deal with. Suggestions are made for ways of working through the peer review process with students so that they can better understand it and, as a consequence, participate more effectively in it.
