Evaluating the authenticity, novelty, caliber, and integrity of research manuscripts considered for publication, the peer review process serves as a bedrock of good science. As a central pillar of trust for researchers, the process’ crucial yardstick lies on determining the scientific standards which will gauge the peer reviewer’s decision on whether to accept or reject papers for publication. As leading databases in scholarly publishing, Scopus and Clarivate Analytics (ISI) play a pivotal role in upholding these standards by employing stringent criteria for indexing journals and assessing the impact and relevance of published research. Serving as both gatekeeper and sentry of journal quality and research ethics, how can one become an adept peer reviewer safeguarding the academia against publications riddled with unfounded claims, significant errors, and ethical lapses?

Sharpening the saw of peer reviewers through skills development, the Asian Society of Teachers for Research Inc. invites you to the Training Workshop for Peer Reviewers Using Scopus and ISI Standards on May 29-31, 2024 at the Selah Garden Hotel, Pasay City, Philippines.
