This book is a wake-up call for those who contend that the peer
review system for journal publications works. It supports the
current groundswell of dissatisfaction with peer review. Harcum and
Rosen challenge the notion of simple biases of researchers and
argue that many reviews are simply incompetent. The biases against
new scientific approaches and philosophies are exacerbated if
proposed by unknown researchers or if contrary to the established
research stars. The authors also destroy the myth of the appeal
system as a forum whereby peers can debate scientific issues.
The primary purpose of this work is to raise the consciousness
of the scientific community, particularly psychologists, about
serious flaws in peer review. The authors demonstrate in a dramatic
way how poor the system really is, and propose a critical
change--the institution of a viable system for appeals.
