How many scientists are normally involved in peer review? How diversified are they or all they are employed by the same sponsors? Who has the final say?

"Who has the final say?"
No one.
That is, in part, the beauty of science --- the ability to go back and test the accepted with new methods, information, and ideas.

How many scientists are normally involved in peer review?
Lots. I don't have an exact number.
How diversified are they or all they are employed by the same sponsors?
They would all need training in the same field, but that's the extent of it. It's better if they have different sponsors, but they need to have the same field of expertise; you wouldn't have a physicist trying to peer review a paper on molecular biology.
Who has the final say?
Are you just too lazy to look up how the peer review process works?

Another service of Darwin Central, the conspiracy that cares.
