Title: Improving peer review using experience and research
Although the principle of Academic peer review of scholarly articles is well understood, some of the nuances that make review a successful process are often not so well comprehended. This talk will use recent research to discuss what is known about positive and productive peer review, and how what is known can be applied to what is done.

Title: Contemporary approaches to feedback: do they occur in journal peer review processes?
Feedback has been an increasing topic of research interest. This has extended our understanding of effective feedback beyond crafting good feedback messages, to recognising that feedback processes take place between people, and require those people to be able to draw on personal capabilities and their environments to successfully engage in feedback. These contemporary approaches to feedback are now widely promoted for learning and teaching within higher education. However, have the same ideas filtered through to scholarly journal peer review processes, which is one of the most common settings for academics to be on the receiving end of feedback?
This presentation will outline contemporary approaches to feedback, the ways in which journal peer review processes are well aligned to these approaches, and consider some of the dissonances across settings for peer feedback, including the use of anonymity, and opportunities for dialogue.
