When does a request strengthen a paper, and when does it become a different study? How should reviewers distinguish essential evidence from an interesting next experiment? What helps authors see that distinction? Please keep examples general. #PeerReviewWeek #PRW2026

Call to discuss what makes a peer review useful when quality is the focus, inviting responses with #PeerReviewWeek and thanking ASPB reviewers for Plant Physiology, The Plant Cell, and Plant Direct, with ASPB and Peer Review Week logos.
