A Referee Primer for Early Career Astronomers

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2022-05-31 v1

Abstract

Refereeing is a crucial component of publishing astronomical research, but few professional astronomers receive formal training on how to effectively referee a manuscript. In this article, we lay out considerations and best practices for referees. This document is intended as a tool for early career researchers to develop a fair, effective, and efficient approach to refereeing.
