The reviewer academy is a program hosted by EFMC’s Young Scientists Network and conducted by professional editors of Chemistry Europe / Wiley-VCH to help train future referees. The academy aims to teach best practices in peer review, especially for early-career researchers.
The academy is a rolling program throughout the year, which consists of a live one-hour workshop and Q&A session (4 times a year); an online workshop (c/o Wiley Research/Reviewer Academy); actual peer review assignment and evaluation.
The workshops and meetings are fully virtual/online events.

Referees will get feedback from the handling editor who invites them. The handling editor can decide to send an additional manuscript to evaluate and inform.
