Peerless Science: Peer Review and U. S. Science Policy (Science Tech Society

by Daryl E. Chubin, Edward J. Hackett

This book examines the structure and operation of peer review as a family of quality control mechanisms and looks at the burdens placed on the various forms of peer review. Assuming that peer review is central to the functioning of U.S. science policy, Chubin and Hackett explore the symbolic and practical value of peer review in the making, implementing, and analysis of this policy.
