Reviewing is a critical professional responsibility and an integral part of participating in the academic community (Trevino,
2008). Yet Tsang and Frey (2007: 129) noted that there is no formal training for referees who usually pick up their review
skills through learning by doing. This raises a perplexing question for doctoral students and junior faculty members: how can
they develop critical reviewing skills when there are so few opportunities for doctoral students and junior faculty members to
practice the art of reviewing? This professional development workshop (PDW) provides doctoral students and junior faculty
with a rare opportunity to learn and practice the art of reviewing. Prior to the conference, doctoral students/junior faculty will
be asked to prepare a formal review of an original submission of Scott DeRues manuscript A Quasi-experimental Study of
After-event Reviews and Leadership Development (DeRue, Nahrgang, Hollenbeck, & Workman, in press). Please note that this
manuscript will replace the manuscript listed in the official conference program. The actual workshop will consist of two
sessions: (1) a panel session and (2) an interactive session. The workshop will begin with Scott DeRue, who will provide
background information about the original manuscript submission. Next, a panel session will provide participants an
opportunity to gain key insights about quality reviewing from a former Editor, Associate Editor, and Editorial Board Member.
Participants will then break into small groups, facilitated by an experienced faculty member, to discuss and receive feedback
on their formal reviews. Jennifer Nahrgang will then discuss the actual reviews of the original submission and how they helped
shape the final manuscript. Finally, the PDW will conclude with a question and answer period.
