peer review

同行評審

Peer review […] happens in two ways. In one method, a paper submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal is examined by other scientists in the field before an editor (usually an expert in the field) passes judgment on it. The second method is review by an independent panel of experts who, using rigorous criteria, determine whether the findings of the paper are credible.

同行评审有两种方式。一种方式是，提交给同行评审期刊的论文先由该领域的其他科学家进行审阅，然后再由编辑（通常是该领域的专家）做出最终评判。另一种方式是由一个独立的专家小组进行评审，该小组使用严格的标准来判断论文的研究结果是否可信。

2006，National Institute for Literacy，What is Scientifically Based Research?，第2頁：

It isn’t easy to know what to make of these studies. Many undergo peer review, but an experiment can be structured in a way that favours a particular outcome and still be valid science.

很难判断这些研究的真正含义。许多研究都经过同行评审，但即使实验设计有利于得出特定结果，它仍然可能是有效的科学研究。
