Abstract
In this article the basic principles of responsible authorship and peer review are surveyed, with special emphasis on (a) guidelines for refereeing archival journal articles and proposals; and (b) how these guidelines should be taken into account at all stages of writing.

JAMAMeasuring the Quality of Editorial Peer Review
226 Citations2002Tom Jefferson
Until the objectives of peer-review are properly defined, it will remain almost impossible to assess or improve its effectiveness, and research needed to understand the broader effects of peer review poses many methodologic problems and would require the cooperation of many parts of the scientific community.
