Peer reviewing: Hot of the press
Recently
I have had the interesting task of reviewing grant applications for the
Australian Research Council and abstracts for the 29th World Congress of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics to be held in Turin,
Italy. Additionally, I review many papers as editor of
the International Journal of Speech-Language Pathology. Throughout Australia
and the world there are many innovative people who are working to change the
lives of people with communication disabilities. It is a privilege to be one of
the first people to read about new research before it is hot off the press.
