Before it can be published, a new paper must pass muster with qualified experts in the field it covers, ensuring that dodgy results and poorly supported conclusions do not make it out into the literature to impede the grand progress of the scientific enterprise.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://scienceblogs.com/highlyallochthonous/2007/04/real_peer_review.php"><P>Well, that's the theory - but what's it like in practice? </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://scienceblogs.com/highlyallochthonous/2007/04/real_peer_review.php">The question is, how much does it matter? The trumping issue aside, not as much as some people think. The 'official' peer review process is really just a preliminary; the <I>real</I> peer review occurs <I>after</I> publication, when everyone gets to see your opus, read it, write sarcastic comments in the margin, and (if it's any good) use and cite it in their own work.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://scienceblogs.com/highlyallochthonous/2007/04/real_peer_review.php">This is something that ID 'theorists' and other pseudoscientists constantly misunderstand: somehow getting a paper 'peer reviewed' and published does not automatically convert bad science to good.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3A27CD40-DDD1-4410-AE06-718B08D01974/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
