The AAAR Student Chapter is hosting a watch party for a webinar entitled, "How to Review a Journal Manuscript." The event will be held on Thursday, May 28 at 11am in Rowland Hall Room 390. The webinar will include teaching viewers how to critically evaluate a manuscript's scientific rigor, clarity, methodology, and interpretation of results, as well as how to structure a review and provide clear, constructive, and professional feedback to authors. The information will be helpful to AirUCI students because it will outline what reviewers look at and is specfic for the atmospheric sciences.
