Milica Ševkušić, Project Coordinator in the EIFL Open Access Programme, will contribute to two workshops on responsible peer review of research publications and research data in Slovenia. The workshops will take place on 12 November at the University of Maribor Library and on 13 November at Center Rog in Ljubljana.

These workshops for researchers from all disciplines, peer reviewers and journal editors will explore the evolving role of peer reviewers in an open science environment, focusing on research integrity, reproducibility, research data and the responsible use of AI tools in peer review. The programme will combine short presentations, practical exercises and group discussions based on realistic publication scenarios. Participants will examine common challenges in reviewing publications and research data, including data-sharing restrictions, confidentiality, reviewer rights and responsibilities, and the appropriate use of AI tools to support expert judgement.

The workshops are supported through Slovenia's Action Plan for Open Science, funded by the Slovenian Research and Innovation Agency.
