Co-reviewing and ghostwriting by early-career researchers in the peer review of manuscripts

Authors: Gary S McDowell Is a corresponding author, John D Knutsen, June M Graham, Sarah K Oelker, Rebeccah S Lijek

We report the results of a literature review and a survey of researchers, with an emphasis on co-reviewing and ‘ghostwriting’. The literature review identified 36 articles that addressed the involvement of early-career researchers in peer review, most of them about early-career researchers and their advisors co-reviewing manuscripts for the purposes of training.
