This Academy, named in honor of the late Harold W. (Bill) Kohl III, is a mentor-driven program designed to elevate the skills of early career researchers in the realm of scientific manuscript peer review. Through this initiative, participants will gain hands-on experience, working closely with experienced mentors to develop the critical skills necessary for effective peer review.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"about-the-bill-kohl-peer-review-academy-0\">Acerca de la Academia Bill Kohl de Revisi\u00f3n por Pares:\u00a0\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peer review is a cornerstone of scientific research, ensuring the quality and legitimacy of published work. For early career researchers, navigating the complexities of peer review can be daunting. The Bill Kohl Peer Review Academy addresses this challenge by offering comprehensive training and mentorship. Participants will be matched with senior peer-review mentors and engage in the review of at least two manuscripts submitted to JPAH over a one-year period. Graduates of the Academy will be recognized on the ISPAH and JPAH websites and celebrated across ISPAH and JPAH social media platforms and at the next ISPAH Congress.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El plan de estudios de la Academia incluye:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-list-style-check\">\n<li>Aprender a evaluar el m\u00e9rito cient\u00edfico de los manuscritos\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deliberar sobre los aspectos \u00e9ticos, cient\u00edficos y pr\u00e1cticos de la revisi\u00f3n inter pares\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Redactar informes constructivos de revisi\u00f3n inter pares<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"meet-the-2026-2027-mentees-1\">Meet the 2026\u20132027 Mentees<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are excited to introduce this year\u2019s class of the Bill Kohl Peer Review Academy.
