Thoughts on Peer Review

Listen to Peer Review Podcast
In this podcast, Portland naturopathic doctors, Dr. Greg Eckel and Dr. Greg Nigh will discuss some of the politics and problems behind the process of “peer review”. Peer review is the process of subjecting an author’s scholarly work, research, or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are considered experts in the same field. But, they ask, how can peer review be considered fair and unbiased when a lot of these reviewers have conflicting interests, such as receiving incentives from companies that have financial ties to what is being reviewed? They discuss this, as well as many other flawed elements in the process of “peer review”.
