A manuscript should be evaluated by reviewers based on its quality and scientific merit. However, peer review has been pointed out in literature as a biased system comprised of biased people. This workshop will discuss types of bias in the peer review process such as gender, race, nationality, prestige, and reputation of authors, and share some recommendations to deal with reviewers and their biases. This is an online event. Event URL will be sent via registration email.
