Don’t Be Reviewer 2: How to Review for Scholarly Journals and Conferences

Panel Discussion/Presentation

Almost every academic discipline engages in scholarly peer review. Peer review is high stakes work; reviewer feedback influences (often determines) whether manuscripts are published, and for many academics, keeping their job depends on publishing their scholarship. In other words, peer reviews have material, professional consequences. It’s surprising, then, that scholars are rarely trained in how to be a good reviewer. In this workshop led by Rebecca Walton, you’ll learn a practical heuristic for providing peer review feedback that is inclusive, helpful, and appropriate.

Friends of the Merrill-Cazier Library Lecture Series: Anticipatory Intelligence and the 21st Century Threats

Lecture/Readings

Dr. Johnson will introduce the concept of Anticipatory Intelligence, the groundbreaking Center for Anticipatory Intelligence (CAI) at USU that offers courses and research within this field, and the 21st century "threatscape" that requires an anticipatory intelligence skill set. Johnson is the Director of the Center for Anticipatory Intelligence (CAI) on USU’s campus. She worked within the Central Intelligence Agency’s Directorate of Intelligence as a member of the Balkan Task Force from 1998-1999 and served with the US State Department in Embassies Paris and Zagreb. The Cultural Topography analytic method she pioneered with co-author Matt Berrett was featured in CIA’s June 2011 edition of Studies in Intelligence. Dr. Johnson’s primary research interest examines the impact of national and organizational cultures on the formation of security policy. library.usu.edu/news-and-events
