“Peer-review activity represents, foremost, an important opportunity for intellectual and scientific growth. It allows scholars to engage with researchers from different countries and disciplinary traditions, often addressing topics closely related to, intersecting with, or expanding one’s own field of expertise.
At the same time, it offers the opportunity to share personal knowledge in support of scientific progress. In the Italian academic context, this dimension may be associated with the relevant concept of the “Terza Missione” (Third Mission): academics’ responsibility to contribute to the common good and to the growth of society through dissemination and advancement of culture.”—Prof. Dr. Riccardo Liberotti
