A new blog for peer reviewers

Welcome to Nature Publishing Group's new-look peer-review blog. In the summer of 2006, the journal Nature hosted an online debate on peer-review. This took the form of 22 commissioned articles on a range of topics. Readers could comment on the articles on a peer-review debate blog.

We have now revamped the blog as a more general discussion forum about peer review, calling it Peer to Peer. We welcome scientists and others who have reviewed, are reviewing or would like to review for the Nature journals. This is your blog: we will post articles about the peer-review process, link to others (see Connotea section of the left-hand vertical sidebar), and answer your questions about the Nature journals' peer review policy.

Please send your brief article or question to us at the peer-reviewers' email address, and we'll feature your feedback on Peer to Peer.

The Nature peer-review debate is fully archived on Peer to Peer. Click on the category "peer review debate" on the left to see all the commissioned articles and the comments so far. We encourage you to join in the conversation with us.

Comments will be reviewed by the blog editors before being published, mainly to ensure that spam and irrelevant material (such as product advertisements) are not published . Please keep your comment brief. Excessively long or offensively phrased entries will be edited. Remember this blog is for feedback and discussion of matters concerning scientific authorship or peer-review - not for drawing attention to your research.

If you want to know if a NPG journal would be interested in your research, you will need to contact the journal's editorial office, which can be done via the authors & referees website.

We strongly encourage you to use your real, full name. E-mail addresses are required in case we need to discuss your comment with you directly. We won't publish your e-mail address unless you request it.

Please enter the numbers you see below - this helps us to avoid spam. If you are having trouble with this system, you can send your comment by e-mail to 'referees at nature.com'.
