How does peer review work?
- Five models of peer review: a guide "This blog post looks at five peer review models currently in use, describing what they mean for authors, reviewers and editors, and examines the various benefits and consequences of each."
- Real peer review has never been tried "Outdated forms of peer review create bottlenecks that slow down science. But in a world where research can now circulate rapidly on the Internet, we need to develop new ways to do science in public."
- What’s peer review? 5 things you should know A review of the most important aspects journalists should understand about the peer-review process and its benefits and shortcomings.
- Telling good science from bad – a user’s guide to navigating the scientific literature Advice from neurogeneticist Kevin Mitchell (Trinity College Dublin).
- Psychedelic drugs: how to tell good research from bad "I’m a doctor, a drug researcher and a clinical trialist. As such, I’m interested in whether psychedelic therapy can be a new form of medicine. That question needs clinical trial evidence. That’s what I’ll be concentrating on here, although some of the principles apply to medical research more broadly."
- Journalists reporting on the COVID-19 pandemic relied on research that had yet to be peer reviewed "Our peer-reviewed, published study found that preprints have become an important information source for many journalists, and one that some plan to keep using post-pandemic."
