This session is designed for researchers, academics, and professionals involved in the synthesis and review of scientific literature. Learn about how to build a great synthesis manuscript for peer review, as well as practical guidelines for critically evaluating synthesis manuscripts during the peer review process.

The Biological Sciences Section hosted this webinar featuring Dr. Gustavo Duque, Editor-in-Chief of the Biological Sciences section of The Journals of Gerontology, Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences. During the webinar, Dr. Duque provided an overview of the journal, as well as tips for preparing a strong manuscript, and how to best respond to reviewers' comments and concerns.

This webinar focuses on ways to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in peer review and publication practices for the Medical Sciences section of The Journals of Gerontology, Series A. In addition to exploring the historical context, you will learn about current journal guidelines and ways to ensure that publications hold to DEI principles.

The value of publishing in gerontology extends beyond the investigator to other researchers, scholars, practitioners, and ultimately improvements in life for older adults and society alike. With this in mind, GSA is offering a webinar series with practical advice on manuscript writing and reviewing. Graduate students and emerging professionals as well as experienced scholars who want to hone their writing and reviewing skills and become more involved in the publishing process will benefit from the hands-on practice, discussion of the “human side” of publishing, pointers from authors of manuscripts accepted by journals, and the insiders’ view with a panel of editors on what constitutes a good paper.
