Peer review is an important part of the scientific publishing process that serves as a key quality control step. Learning that scientific publications go through peer review builds scientific literacy and may increase trust in published findings. Though the publication and peer review process is an established part of the practice of communicating science, this topic is not commonly taught at the undergraduate level, even in classes that regularly require students to read primary literature or author manuscripts. Often, undergraduate course lessons on peer review focus on the practice of performing peer review on other students' writing rather than explaining how this process works for independent scientists publishing their novel work as primary literature articles. As a result, there is a need for more resources related to teaching about publication and peer review. This work presents a plan for out-of-class reading and an in-class lesson on peer review practices in biology. In this module, students learn the order of events in scientific publishing and consider the relationship between peer review and public trust in science by analyzing survey data. Students completing this activity reported knowledge gains related to scientific publishing and peer review and demonstrated their knowledge on an in-class assessment. Though this activity was developed for a biochemistry course, it may be implemented in various life sciences classes from introductory to advanced levels to improve student scientific literacy.

使用课外阅读和课堂讨论增加本科生对期刊同行评审的了解。

同行评审是科学出版过程的重要组成部分,是质量控制的关键步骤。了解科学出版物经过同行评审可以培养科学素养,并可能增加对已发表研究结果的信任。虽然出版和同行评审过程是传播科学实践的既定部分,但这个主题在本科阶段并不常见,即使在定期要求学生阅读原始文献或作者手稿的课程中也是如此。通常,关于同行评审的本科课程课程侧重于对其他学生的写作进行同行评审的做法,而不是解释这个过程如何适用于独立科学家将他们的小说作品作为主要文学文章发表。因此,需要更多与出版和同行评审教学相关的资源。这项工作提出了一个课外阅读计划和一个关于生物学同行评审实践的课堂课程。在本模块中,学生通过分析调查数据了解科学出版中事件的顺序,并考虑同行评审与公众对科学的信任之间的关系。完成这项活动的学生报告了与科学出版和同行评审相关的知识收获,并在课堂评估中展示了他们的知识。虽然此活动是为生物化学课程开发的,但它可以在从入门级到高级的各种生命科学课程中实施,以提高学生的科学素养。这项工作提出了一个课外阅读计划和一个关于生物学同行评审实践的课堂课程。在本模块中,学生通过分析调查数据了解科学出版中事件的顺序,并考虑同行评审与公众对科学的信任之间的关系。完成这项活动的学生报告了与科学出版和同行评审相关的知识收获,并在课堂评估中展示了他们的知识。虽然此活动是为生物化学课程开发的,但它可以在从入门级到高级的各种生命科学课程中实施,以提高学生的科学素养。这项工作提出了一个课外阅读计划和一个关于生物学同行评审实践的课堂课程。在本模块中,学生通过分析调查数据了解科学出版中事件的顺序,并考虑同行评审与公众对科学的信任之间的关系。完成这项活动的学生报告了与科学出版和同行评审相关的知识收获,并在课堂评估中展示了他们的知识。虽然此活动是为生物化学课程开发的,但它可以在从入门级到高级的各种生命科学课程中实施,以提高学生的科学素养。完成这项活动的学生报告了与科学出版和同行评审相关的知识收获,并在课堂评估中展示了他们的知识。虽然此活动是为生物化学课程开发的,但它可以在从入门级到高级的各种生命科学课程中实施,以提高学生的科学素养。完成这项活动的学生报告了与科学出版和同行评审相关的知识收获,并在课堂评估中展示了他们的知识。虽然此活动是为生物化学课程开发的,但它可以在从入门级到高级的各种生命科学课程中实施,以提高学生的科学素养。
