“…Review 2: Individual review on a preprint selected by student groups. The next event took place in Unit 3, after ~6 weeks of explicit teaching about peer review and after students co-created a rubric to evaluate preprint peer reviews (32,33). Students were grouped by interest in biological topics (e.g.…”

“…3. A rubric for evaluation of preprint reviews was generated by the students in Course 1 (32,33). This consists of a series of non-linear scores of 0-4 being awarded to different sections of the review, which are then converted into a percentage, reported here as "MHC".…”

“…The impact of the curricular interventions on students' peer review ability -a form of disciplinary literacy -was measured quantitatively by an independent researcher using three unique instruments. Students' peer reviews from both courses were de-identified by the instructor (RSL), and their quality was assessed by the independent researcher (GSM) using the Review Quality Instrument (RQI, (35)), the PREreview Review Assessment Rubric (32) and a rubric that was created by the students themselves (in Course 1, "MHC," (32,33)). Table 2 and Figure 3A summarize the results of the four peer review events in the full peer review curriculum (Course 1).…”

Undergraduate education on science publishing and peer review is limited compared to the focus on experimental research. Since peer review is integral to the scientific process and central to the identity of a scientist, we envision a paradigm shift that makes teaching peer review integral to undergraduate science education, and hypothesize that this may facilitate the development of students' scientific literacy and identity formation. To this end, we developed a curriculum for biology undergraduates to learn about the mechanisms of peer review, then write and publish their own peer reviews as a way to authentically join the scientific community of practice. The curriculum was implemented as a semester-long intervention in one class and as a module intervention embedded into a discipline-based class on vaccines. Before and after both interventions, we measured students' scientific literacy, including peer review ability, using quantitative methods. We also carried out a longitudinal qualitative assessment of students' perceptions of their scientific literacy and identity using thematic analysis of students' writing. Here, we present data on the improvement in peer review ability of undergraduates in both classes, and data on the curriculum's interrelated impact on students' development of scientific literacy, identity, and belonging in academic and professional spaces. These data suggest that undergraduates can and should be trained in peer review to foster the interrelated development of their scientific literacy, scientific identity, and sense of belonging in science. Keywords: Peer review, science literacy, disciplinary literacy, science identity, sense of belonging, community of practice, scholarly communication
