Peer review is among the most fundamental instruments for raising the quality of a journal and the satisfaction of its authors. Equally, authors who understand what a reviewer is asked to do substantially improve their own chances of acceptance. This course taught the principles from both sides, and carried five retraining credits in the national continuing medical education system.
