MDPI Webinar | 2nd Nursing Reports Reviewer Club 2025, 7 July 2025
We are pleased to announce the second Nursing Reports Reviewer Club webinar—an exclusive quarterly event recognizing our reviewers for their contribution to the journal.
This webinar will focus on questionable research practices (QRPs: methods used in research that are ethically ambiguous and can undermine research findings) that include cherry picking and selective reporting. The impact of QRPs on the evidence base will be explored. Different QRPs that authors may adopt will be described, as well as the importance of identifying and considering these during the review process. Case examples will be used to illustrate various QRPs.
The Nursing Reports Reviewer Club webinar is open to all, including established reviewers, early-career researchers, and those interested in learning more about peer reviewing. Participants will gain insights into QRPs to enhance their reviewing skills and support the maintenance of high standards in scholarly publishing.
