<p class="MsoNormal">I’m working with a team at <i>IEEE Transaction on Prof Comm</i> to develop mentoring materials for younger scholars interested in working as peer reviewers. I write to ask if you would be willing to share materials, links, references, whatever
you might have that will help with the job of diversifying the reviewer group *<b>and</b>* preparing new reviewers to succeed.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example, do you have assignments you use? Maybe there’s some websites you refer grad students to? What journals do you review for now that have mentorship materials for newer scholars? Or more generally, what *<b>should</b>* we be doing
at IEEE Transactions (or other journals) to mentor newer scholars to become successful peer reviewers?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks so much for your thoughts!<br>
