    Peer reviewing is an essential component of the academic research process. As noted by Tsang (2013), "A competent, well-crafted review provides constructive comments that help authors to strengthen their paper, regardless of whether the paper is eventually accepted for publication" (Tsang, 2013, p. 168). Unfortunately, most PhD students and junior faculty have not received formal training in how to do an effective peer review: they learn by the trial and error of doing or by working with their advisor who is likely to be an experienced reviewer, though not necessarily a good one (Tsang and Frey, 2007; Smith, 2006). Raelin (2008) argues that more workshops on crafting peer reviews should be conducted for early-stage academics. This workshop is designed to provide an interactive experience for young researchers to enhance their skill at delivering high quality, professional, and constructive reviews to academic peers. The workshop will be divided into two parts. The first part will cover why reviewing is important and needed, principles of reviewing (what we call the 5 R's), and expected content for each major section of a research paper. The second part of the workshop will focus on soliciting critiques from participants of manuscript excerpts (provided prior to the workshop) reflecting the various major sections of a paper. Participants will be asked to indicate how they would write up their specific comments to the authors. References: Raelin, Joseph. 2008.
