[4eyes] Friday lunchtime seminar, and a request for your input!

[John O'Donovan]

Hi Everyone,
This Friday we will have the final episode in our epic trilogy of lunchtime
"paper writing" talks.  This week will focus on do's and don'ts for the
peer review process.  The discussion is likely to involve revisiting some
points from the earlier talks by Jon and Cha.

I was thinking of the following format:

1:  I will give an intro about paper reviewing, and how best to keep
reviewers happy with good writing and organization of a paper.  This will
be based on published how-tos and on my own experiences.

2:  Peer review is something that many of us already have interesting
stories about.  I was hoping to gather a few example points from our own
experiences with conference/journal reviews, and discuss these as a group.
 So, if you have an interesting point and/or useful comments from reviewers
of your papers, particularly ones that "taught you a lesson", it would be
great if you could share them with everyone on Friday.  If you have an
example or two, please email me with:  {venue, year, reviewer comment or
lesson learned} and I will compile a list to go through on Friday.  If it
is necessary to show the paper for you to describe the reviewers comment,
please send a pointer to that too.

3:  I will present a short conclusion of the major points from the three
talks.  (Jon / Cha, I will get your input for this in a separate email)


Thanks!
-John

PS:  The collaborative format will only work if everyone chips in, so
please don't be shy sending your examples!!
