A co sadzicie o tym?
As you know, only 8% members of the Scientific Research Society agreed that
'peer review works well as it is.' (Chubin and Hackett, 1990; p.192)
"A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision and an analysis of the peer review
system substantiate complaints about this fundamental aspect of scientific
research." (Horrobin, 2001)
Horrobin concludes that peer review "is a non-validated charade whose
processes generate results little better than does chance." (Horrobin, 2001)
This has been statistically proven and reported by an increasing number of
journal editors.
But, "Peer Review is one of the sacred pillars of the scientific edifice"
(Goodstein, 2000), it is a necessary condition in quality assurance for
Scientific/Engineering publications, and "Peer Review is central to the
organization of modern science.why not apply scientific [and engineering]
methods to the peer review process" (Horrobin, 2001).
This is the purpose of The 2nd International Symposium on Peer Reviewing: ISPR
2010 (www.sysconfer.org/ispr) being organized in the context of The
SUMMER 4th International Conference on Knowledge Generation, Communication and
Management: KGCM 2010 (www.sysconfer.org/kgcm), which will be held on
June 29th - July 2nd, in Orlando, Florida, USA.
