The purpose of this study is to identify factors associated with effective peer-assisted learning (PAL) for nursing students. This review examined studies on PAL in nursing education. The literature was searched using terms including 'nursing & peer assisted learning,' 'nursing & peer learning,' and 'nursing & peer teaching.' Potentially relevant research on PAL was identified, and 12 studies were determined to meet the inclusion criteria. This review includes five qualitative, three mixed-methods, and three experimental studies published on the topic. In the studies reviewed, practicum classes were found to use PAL the most. Students of the same age were most commonly the subjects of PAL, as indicated in six papers. PAL has been suggested to affect participants' knowledge, self-efficacy, confidence, and anxiety. The findings indicate that interactions between peers promote learning and lead to mutually positive responses, which provide opportunities for self-development. Finally, students' learning outcomes improve and their confidence in their knowledge and skills increases as they experience the role of student nurse. These findings indicate that PAL can be utilized as an efficient learning method in nursing education programs. However, effective strategies for using PAL to achieve learning objectives and maximize learning outcomes are needed.

This study was carried out to evaluate the renewable energy dissemination programs in Korea, using peer-review. Especially, we used the peer review method which was suggested to evaluate the renewable energy program in U.S. by EERE, DOE. Before we implemented the peer review, we modified this method suitable for evaluating the renewable energy dissemination programs in Korea by getting advice from expertise in renewable energy policy. From this procedure, we have verified six evaluation criteria as Quality, Productivity, Accomplishments, Relevance and Management. We interviewed renewable energy policy expertise and corporation to evaluate the programs against these criteria. The result shows that overall programs were performed more than average. In addition, both the policy expertise and corporation perceived that "oan Guarantee Program" and "ompulsory Installation of Renewable Energy Facility in Public building" fulfilled its role to a great extent. However, the respondents pointed out that all of the programs need to be improved on its management.

Peer review is a well-known, pervasive and most reliable method for assessment of research proposals. But with the strength of peer review, it also has some various limitations and shortcomings. This study suggests the use of bibliometric indicators as a counterbalance of shortcomings and mistakes in peer review. Bibliometric indicators suggested in this study are somewhat different from the conventional ones. Bibliometric indicators with limited number of papers, use of impact factor and discrimination first and corresponding authors from co-authors may produce a more resonable indicators. In this way bibliometric indicators can be considered as complementary to a peer review.

본 연구의 주요 목적은 정부에서 추진하고 있는 신재생에너지 보급정책의 현재까지의 성과를 분석하고, 장애요인을 파악하여 개선방안을 제시하는 데에 있다. 따라서 보급정책의 하위 프로그램들의 정성적 평가를 위하여 미국 DOE(Department of Energy) 산하 EERE(Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy)에서 제시하고 있는 Peer Review Guide(2004)를 따라 외부동료평가(Peer Review)를 사용하였다. 그러나, 미국 EERE에서 제시하고 있는 가이드를 한국에 곧바로 적용함에는 무리가 있기에, 하위프로그램들의 외부동료평가를 실시하기에 앞서서 외부동료평가 설문 평가속성 결정을 위해 전문가 설문을 한 차례 더 진행하였다. 첫 번째 전문가 설문에서는 투입요소의 적정성 (Quality), 생산성 (Productivity), 성취도 (Accomplishments), 연계성(Relevance), 관리 (Management), 전체적 평가 (Overall Assesment) 항목 중 어떠한 항목을 선택해야 하는지, 국문 번역이 적절한지 등을 살펴보았다. 두 번째 설문에서는 이렇게 해서 선정된 항목을 바탕으로 각 프로그램 별로 Peer Review Guide에서 제시한 외부동료평가를 시행할 예정이다.

The researcher writes the result of the research in the form of paper. The submitted papers gets careful peer review by the reviewers and used for the development of academic studies after it gets published. There has been numerous debate about the review system, as the review process determines whether the results will be known to academia. In this paper, we investigate the problems in the present review system and propose a open peer review system based on blockchain. The proposed system has an open peer review structure unlike the existing one and ensures fair and in-depth evaluation through transparency. The system also provides a solution to the privacy and capacity problems that may arise from the use of blockchain. Lastly, we implement the proposed peer review system and show the results.

The purpose of this research was to investigate how the peer review activity of lab report in the problem-solving experiment effected on the description ability and the quality improvement. The students who were taking the general chemistry experiment course were the subjects for this study. They finished lab reports and received peer review from their peers more than two times. The students who got feedback answered on peer review, revised their reports, and subsequently, completed final reports. The result showed that peer review affected the qualitative improvement of the lab report, specially in the process of 'designing experiment' and 'drawing conclusion and evaluation'. Students could organize their thoughts through writing lab reports. During this process, peer review activities provided the opportunity of self-examination and the way for viewing as objective standpoint. Moreover, the activities established communication fields for exchanging mutual opinions and learning.

In an academic ecosystem evolving into open science, open peer review is gaining attention as a way to enhance transparency and openness in scholarly communication. This study examines the adoption of open peer review components in 118 open access journals that have implemented open peer review, and their characteristics by publisher type, country/continent, language, and discipline. Open peer review has been implemented in a variety of ways, including making review reports or pre-prints publicly available or disclosing the identities of authors and reviewers to each other. We also found differences in the components adopted across disciplines. It appears that commercial publishers, which account for a large proportion of publisher types, have generally adopted it, and it is mainly published in English in European countries. By discipline, we find more open peer review in the medical and natural sciences, which traditionally aim for open scholarly communication and fewer journals in the multidisciplinary and humanities. This provides insights into the adoption of open peer review by journals, as well as a better understanding of the characteristics of the academic community in terms of their adoption of open peer review.

In this paper, introduction and developing guide to the online submission and peer review system is studied. Such system must provides fare and fast review of drafted papers. In addition, the publication of accepted papers by reviewers is quick and easy. Today, Some societies use KISTI-ACOM which is supplied freely by KISTI(Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information) and some other societies develop and use their own system in Korea. It is sure that each system will be improved and developed further. Based on the consideration about a typical peer review and publication in online submission system, the guideline of online submission and peer review system is suggested in this paper.

As student-centered learning grows, formative peer assessment practices have been universally used in various fields. According to the review of traditional peer assessment practices, the formative peer assessment has five common stages: planning, assessing (giving feedback), receiving feedback, reflection, and revising. As the each stage of traditional formative peer assessment has some weaknesses, the study discusses solutions that are recommended for dealing with the problems by introducing the potential benefits of web-based peer assessment. Then, desirable future trends of web-based peer assessment are suggested. The author hopes that understanding the potential benefits of web-based formative peer assessment will promote the proper use of peer assessment and render positive effect on student learning.

Recently diversity of research field is emphasized all over the world. Nations with advanced programs in research field keep developing new R&D programs for interdisciplinary studies. These new research atmospheres need objective validity in evaluation process. Peer review is recognized as a best evaluation method for national research and development programs. However, peer review system has restrictive boundary because of its subjectivity of the reviewer. Scientometrics has been developed as an alternative system to peer review. But the effectiveness of quantitative indicators which also has qualitative aspect is rarely analyzed in real program evaluation. In this study, we suggest distribution of marks of peer review and newly developed quantitative review through analyzing deviations between two different reviews in real national R&D program evaluation. Moreover, we could have significant correlation between two review systems in the same case study.
