The Subjectivities and Objectivities of Peer Review

By Daniel Ucko

"What do we want? Evidence-based science When do we want it? After peer review " We have come to think of peer review as the stamp of quality that separates real results from mere conjecture, but a look under the hood reveals that the participants inside of peer review are far from objective. This book reclaims subjectivity and affirms a social mode of objectivity, which prevents peer review from overpromising and underdelivering in its vital role in knowledge production.
