. Early-career scientists (ECSs) are a large part of the workforcein science. While they produce new scientific knowledge that they share inpublications, they are rarely invited to participate in the peer-reviewprocess. Barriers to the participation of ECSs as peer reviewers include,among other things, their lack of visibility to editors, inexperience in thereview process and lack of confidence in their scientific knowledge.Participation of ECSs in group reviews, e.g. for regional or globalassessment reports, provides an opportunity for ECSs to advance their skillset and to contribute to policy-relevant products. Here, we present theoutcomes of a group peer review of the First Order Draft of theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC). Overall, PhD students spentmore time on the review than those further advanced in their careers andprovided a similar proportion of substantive comments. After the review,participants reported feeling more confident in their skills, and 86 %were interested in reviewing individually. By soliciting and including ECSsin the peer-review process, the scientific community would not only reducethe burden carried by more established scientists but also permit theirsuccessors to develop important professional skills relevant to advancingclimate science and influencing policy.
