Please come and join me for a Nerd Nite on October 4th (6:30pm) at the Little Andromeda theatre. I will be ranting about about the peer review process. Here is a short summary of the talk:
The peer review process is essential to modern science. Researchers conduct studies and submit their results to a journal. An editor manages a review process involving external experts. But what happens when you study the peer review process itself. How do scientific organisations react when they become the subject of an experiment? Not well, to say the least.
