Physical Review Tutorial for Referees (12:30pm-1:30pm)

A panel of Editors from Physical Review Letters, Physical Review X, and Physical Review will provide information and tips for our less experienced referees. This session is aimed at anyone looking to review for any of the APS journals, as well as anyone who would like to learn more about the refereeing process in general. Topics for discussion will include advice on how to navigate the review process, how referees can assist authors to improve their paper and editors to place the paper in the appropriate journal, and also the similarities and differences in writing referee reports for PRL and PR, as well as other ways in which authors, referees, and editors can work together productively. Following a short presentation, there will be a moderated discussion in which participants will be able to ask questions of the panelists.
