Meaning
Peer review is when scientists check one another's work to make sure the method, results and conclusions are valid.
About Peer Review
- Peer review is an essential process in science to check whether the ideas claimed by a scientist are true.
- Peer review is a useful process to prevent the false reporting or poor methodology of a group of researchers becoming accepted.
- Before peer review the scientific community does not accept a claim as being true.
- Unfortunately the media often report on scientific papers before they are peer reviewed giving the false impression that something is established science, when it is not.
