内容説明

An analysis of one of the most controversial issues of modern scientific culture: peer review has been the subject matter of many articles in newspapers and general interest scientific and news magazines. This book considers the necessity of having a reliable method of separating the wheat from the chaff in science, in the light of the large number of recent cases of fraud in science.
