Rapid Reviews\ Infectious Diseases is an open-access, rapid-review overlay journal published by the MIT Press that intends to accelerate peer review of infectious disease-related research by soliciting and publishing open-access reviews for manuscripts posted on preprint servers. Its Central office is based at the University of California, Berkeley with editorial offices in Mexico, Cape Town, Vietnam, India, Uganda and more! *Join us for the 2025 Summer Global Training Workshop: Introduction to Peer Review and Open Science Publishing!* *Training Details:* • Free 6-week training course offered by RR\ID from July 8th, 2025 - August 14th, 2025 • 12 x one-hour online session every Tuesday and Thursday • Time: 8am - 9am PST/ 6pm - 7pm EAT/ 9am - 10am CST-Mexico City / 10pm - 11pm GMT+7/3pm - 4pm GMT *What you will learn through the workshops:* • Critical assessment of infectious disease research manuscripts • Scientific publishing and the role of pre-prints • Science communications and open science including (i.e., editorial components around pitching, writing, and editing) • Identification of peer reviewers for academically rigorous review *Expectations of Participants* • Join workshop sessions twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday) • Join RR\ID weekly team and Editorial team meetings to pitch preprints (more on this will be covered during workshops) • Support the RR\ID workflow by finding peer reviewers and finding/pitching infectious disease preprints *FAMSA* in collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley is hereby bringing this amazing opportunity for medical students in Africa to be part of the team. It brings together students and volunteers from all over to curate emerging research on Infectious Diseases under five domains: Public Health; Social Sciences and Humanities; Medical Sciences; Biological and Chemical Sciences; and Physical Sciences and Engineering. Pre-curated preprints are pitched in a weekly editorial meeting with the Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Stefano Bertozzi, and other senior researchers. The most exciting research is put through an independent peer review process. The MIT Press promotes those reviewed favorably to disseminate the most impactful research quickly to the global community. Medical students from across Africa who can devote approximately 3 hours/week towards this important crowd-sourced activity, to screen preprints and provide comments/assessments of cutting-edge research in preprint servers are invited. *Please note*: To sign up for the class, you must have reliable access to Zoom, a laptop and the internet for the live sessions. Those who complete the training will receive a Certificate from UC Berkeley RR\ID and earn the opportunity to join RR\ID as a student editor.
