362 - Professional Development Workshop. Reviewing for Medical Sociology and Mental Health Journals

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Abstract

This workshop is designed for young sociologists to assist them in the important and essential task of professional sociologists, writing manuscript reviews for journals. Editors of three medical sociology and mental health journals will provide suggestions for writing well crafted, informative, critical and helpful reviews (Society and Mental Health, Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Sociology of Health & Illness). The editors will discuss objectivity, criteria for revision recommendations, helpful considerations for authors, time allocations, timely submissions, conflict of interests, and ethics. Sociologists at more advanced stages and in other areas are welcome.
