Dear All, I am an ST4 trainee and I have reviewed a couple of JIDR articles and would certainly welcome the opportunity to attend a session on how to review a paper. Obviously I've had training in critical appraisal as part of my MRCPsych, but having a session dedicated to reviewing rather than just reading papers critically for one's own trainee/research/interest would be very valuable.

I think such a session needs to include info on 1) how to you get known as a potential reviewer (other than publishing tons); 2) sample reviews re what do journals want in terms of volume, detail, length. This is certainly the information junior colleagues of mine are asking for but don't seem to find easy to come by.

One thing we might do to increase the pool of reviewers is to encourage\tutor more early stage reviewers who are attached to academic centres. Would it be worth JIDR\JARID running a joint 'introduction to reviewing session' at Seattle Club and\or this year's BPS\DCP (Dougal?)? With local mentoring this might help. I'm sure this happens anyway but the journals could facilitate this.

It is difficult to maintain high impact factors in a field with such diverse content and where there isn't the volume of international research happening as there are in some other fields. I would also strongly endorse Sue's point about reviewers - we are finding it more and more difficult to find reviewers for submissions - it's easy for this activity to get squeezed out when people are under so much pressure.

I know you aren't pointing the finger specifically but from my point of view we try hard to turn papers around as quickly as possible and of course now we have early view once accepted papers are citable within weeks. I am glad to see that our IF has improved yet again.

It is disappointing that our local ID journals never fare very well. I appreciate that it may be a function of ID being a relatively small specialty, but I worry that there are other factors to consider. I don't want to step on toes, but feel it is worth pointing out that there may be some issues that can be addressed. For example, I often encounter a very protracted decision process... which can be rather off-putting in a REF year!
