When you work in academia, you often hear the phrase ‘publish or perish’. That is to be successful and productive one must constantly show public, outward facing contributions to their eld of study. In line with this idea, many doctoral programmes in the biological sciences have a requirement that students have a rstauthor paper published to graduate. This experience gives students an opportunity to participate in the publication process from the perspective of an author; however, the opportunities for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and young professionals (ie, early career researchers) to become formally involved in the peer-review and editorial side of publishing are few and far between. It has been shown that over 50% of early career researchers (ECRs) who have experience in peer-review gained it through coreview of a manuscript where their Principal Investigator (PI) was the invited reviewer (McDowell et al., 2019). While co-reviewing can give needed experience to ECRs, they often do not receive formal credit for their contributions. This prevents them from citing these contributions as relevant experience because the ECR is not on-record with the journal they helped review for, making their contribution unveriable. Additionally, the lack of formal training is a major issue in peer-review. ECRs reported that they received training in peer-review from receiving reviews on their own work or from their PI (McDowell et al., 2019). This may lead to misunderstandings in the expectations of a peer-reviewer and how one should critically and fairly evaluate research. To this end, the Genetics Society of America has established a peerreview training programme, where ECRs can apply to receive formal training and feedback through the manuscript review process (Genetics Society of America, 2021). Other publishing services, such as Elsevier and Wiley, offer online self-learning courses for
