Peer Review and Preprints
2 reportsPeer Review and Preprints is examined through study design, review, replication, synthesis, correction, and the communication of uncertainty. Valid use requires reviewer comments, version history, and open peer review, with transparent assumptions and checks against bias or model misspecification.
Editorial screening and author revision frame the reporting, with publication status providing a further check. It examines how conflicts are disclosed and what peer review checks, showing how sampling, measurement, and analytic choices alter uncertainty.
