| Abstract: | Abstract Despite its many imperfections, the peer review process is a firmly established quality control system for scientific literature. It gives readers some assurance that the work and views that are reported meet standards that are acceptable to a journal. Maureen Revington’s editorial in a recent issue of the Australian Veterinary Journal (Revington 2002 Revington, ML. 2002. Peer review — What is it? Why use it?. Australian Veterinary Journal, 80: 604–5. [Google Scholar]) gives a good concise “warts and all” overview of the process and is well worth reading. |
