Improving Peer Review
All members of the Origin team are active in efforts to improve standards in peer review management and often engage in associated activities such as raising awareness of publication ethics or improving reporting standards. Jason Roberts and Kristen Overstreet are the Founding President and Founding Editor, respectively, of the International Society of Managing and Technical Editors and its publication Editorial Office News, the first organization and publication solely dedicated to advancing best practices in the editorial office. Both have been invited to speak at publisher-led editorial office training courses, and Jason has hosted sessions dedicated to peer review management best practices at the Council of Science Editors and the Society of Scholarly Publishers.
