| This page outlines recommendations for the two required materials for the course: collaboration platforms, and platforms for online meetings. |
Considerations
The most important aspect when selecting platforms for the course is to ensure that each selected platform meets the confidentiality requirements of the journal partner.
Required platforms
Collaborative platform to provide comments on manuscripts
- Paperhive (used for the original Peerspectives courseOur recommendation)
- Google Drive
- DropBox Paper
- Sharepoint
- ONLYOFFICE DocSpace
The original Peerspectives course had a license with Paperhive (https://paperhive.org/). Paperhive is a secure platform that allows participants to add comments and highlights to a pdf document while prohibiting the download of the document. If your journal partner does not require the papers to be shared securely, or you are using pre-prints/published manuscripts, tools such as Google Drive can be a free alternative to Paperhive.
Platform to host online meetings
- Zoom (used for the original Peerspectives course)
- Teams
- Google Meet
- Skype
