Research Peer Review Pool

Open-access content Wednesday 5th October 2022

As a learned society, the IFoA has an active research agenda through its volunteer working parties and commissioned research projects. All IFoA research seeks to be open access and freely available to a variety of audiences worldwide, so it is important that research outputs are of the highest quality.

Research outputs typically include sessional meeting papers, other published research papers, conference presentations, briefing papers for government or consumer bodies, and journal articles.

The IFoA is seeking to build up a pool of volunteers who have an interest in research and are in a position to review research outputs on an ad hoc basis. The volunteers will form a virtual group known as the Research Peer Review Pool.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please take a look at the volunteer vacancy at bit.ly/PeerVolunteer
