importance of peer-reviewed academic research |
Research published in peer-reviewed journals has been carefully reviewed by both the journal's editors and experts in that particular field of research.
The process of peer review helps to ensure that every study published in these journals adheres to the appropriate standards for objective scientific investigation, testing of hypotheses, and presentation of findings. After meeting these tests, a study is accepted for publication only if it also offers a significant contribution to scientific knowledge.
While we encourage interested parties to read the Elliot Institute's peer reviewed studies in full, we have distilled the key findings of these and other studies into user-friendly fact sheets and booklets. This format makes it more convenient to duplicate and distribute as e-mail documents or printed flyers for your own easy reference and as an opportunity to reach more people in more places.
