MAKING TACIT KNOWLEDGE OPEN – A Panel Discussion Series
Academia is full of tacit knowledge that is difficult to access for early career researchers and first-generation academics who do not (yet) have large academic networks. In our new panel discussion series, we try to make this tacit knowledge open by asking the relevant questions to a diverse set of experts.

PRACTICES AND PRACTICALITIES OF PEER REVIEW
Most researchers spend a significant amount of time and effort on peer reviewing. However, there is large variability in peer reviewing practices and little guidance for early career researchers on the topic. For this panel discussion, we assemble experts from different fields of psychology to talk about their experiences with peer review from a reviewer’s and/or editor’s perspective. We talk about how they developed their own style of peer reviewing, what they consider a good peer review, tips and tricks for peer-reviewing efficiently, and how their personal scientific philosophy influences their peer reviews.

Panel Members:

• Dr. Marlene Altenmüller (Social Psychology)
• Dr. Peter Edelsbrunner (Learning Sciences, ETH Zürich)
• Dr. Nathan Evans (Computational Modeling in Psychology)
• Dr. Florian Pargent (Psychological Methods and Assessment)
• Prof. Dr. Tobias Staudigl (Cognitive Neuropsychology)
• Dr. Charlotte Wittekind (Clinical Psychology)
