The peer-review process
نویسنده
چکیده
The peer review process has been discussed at length in most of the established texts on the scholarly communication process, such as Ziman (1968), Ravetz (1973) and Meadows (1974). These authors agree that the four main functions of the scholarly literature are dissemination of current knowledge, archiving of the canonical knowledge base, quality control of published information, and assignment of priority and credit for their work to authors. The key position of peer review in fulfilling all four of these functions, but especially of course quality control, is acknowledged by these authorities.
