Abstract
The concept of peer review has been around form more than 300 years (Weller, 2001) and professional organizations have used peer reviewers to further their practices since the 18th century (Adler & Abraham, 2009; Kronick, 1990). However, many organizations and associations have yet to employ structured education and training for their peer reviewers. The purpose of this presentation will be to discuss how one association translated the use of educational rubrics into a tool utilized by peer reviewers for provider-directed, provider-paced educational abstract submissions. Rubrics have been used as a guide to establish and communicate standards to nursing students for years when developing a paper or a project. The standards set by rubrics assure educational objectives are met and nursing standards of practice are integrated. The importance of using rubrics will be emphasized as a way to decrease subjective judgment and increase consistency and the quality of abstract submissions.
