Peer Review Week 2022 – Research Integrity: Creating and Supporting Trust in Research

Peer Review Week began 19 September 2022 under the theme of “Research Integrity: Creating and Supporting Trust in Research”. Through various blog articles, podcast, and webinar, we discussed this crucial subject throughout the week, celebrating the essential role peer review plays in maintaining research quality.

To begin, we held a Webinar on the topic. Professor Peter W. Choate and Dr. Emmanuel Obeng-Gyasi joined Dr. Ioana Craciun, one of MDPI’s scientific officers, for an in-depth discussion.

We invite you to view the event recording:

During the week, the MDPI Blog in a series articles highlighted how good Peer Review safeguards research integrity. The following topics were covered:

In a new edition of Insight Faster, an MDPI podcast, we were delighted to talk to the co-chairs of the Peer Review Week committee, Jayashree Rajagopalan (Senior Manager of Global Community Engagement for CACTUS) and Danielle Padula (Head of Marketing and Community Development at Scholastica) to get their take on this year’s event and its related topics.

You can find the Podcast here.

We hope you enjoy the contents!

MDPI will be attending the 2022 CAGPO ACMOO Annual Conference, hosted by the 2022 CAGPO Annual Conference Committee, which will be held from 15 to 18 September 2022 in Toronto, Canada.

The CAGPO mission statement is to unify general practitioners in oncology, promote communication amongst general practitioners in oncology in tertiary care and primary care settings, act and speak as the recognized authority on behalf of and for the benefit of general practitioners in oncology and their interests, and promote the role of general practitioners in oncology within cancer centers and within the primary care setting. The conference is to address the learning needs of general practitioners in oncology (GPOs) and oncology-allied health attendees. During this meeting, we will address recent advancements in the standards of oncology care. Our speakers include GPOs, medical and radiation oncologists, as well as speakers from the disciplines of family medicine and clinical trials.

The following MDPI journals will be represented:
