AAPS joins STEM organizations from across the breadth of the sciences in recognizing Peer Review Week, September 15-19, 2025. This week-long celebration highlights the value of peer review in ensuring credibility in research and this year's theme is "Rethinking Peer Review in the AI Era."
In recognition of Peer Review Week, AAPS will open the eLearning webinars, “Publish or Perish: Peer Review in the Pharmaceutical Sciences” and “Understanding the 'Dreaded' Manuscript Review Process” to non-members for a limited time, along with the opening plenary from the 2025 PharmSci 360. This session featured a panel discussion (starts at 48:00) with Ivan Oransky, M.D., Co-founder of Retraction Watch and Colby Vorland, Ph.D., Assistant Research Scientist at the Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington.
Through its four peer-reviewed journals (The AAPS Journal, AAPS PharmSciTech, Pharmaceutical Research, and AAPS Open), AAPS supports ethical, credible science with the help of hundreds of scientist-volunteers who share their time and expertise by participating in peer review. Independent peer reviewers for these publications are critical to assuring the quality of scientific research used in the development of products and therapies that improve global health.
