As a special event within SLAFES XX (especially for young researchers), the editor of Physical Review B (Dr. Peter Adams) will present a tutorial for authors and referees. The editor will provide useful information and tips for less experienced referees and authors. The information presented will be relevant to anyone who is looking to submit to or review manuscripts for any of the APS journals, or to anyone who would like to add to their knowledge and experience of the authoring and refereeing processes.

Topics for discussion will include:

• how to write good manuscripts and useful referee reports;
• differences between manuscripts and referee reports for PRL and PR;
• the roles of authors and referees in the review process, etc.

Following a short presentation from the editor, there will be a moderated discussion of these and other topics. Questions from the audience will be most welcome.
