What the hell does “peer-reviewed” exactly mean anyway?

That you have had the other like-minded, tenured progressives at your State-funded University reach the same pre-determined conclusions????

[Veto!]

I don't know exactly what the article means by "peer reviewed." And uberlib UW is in Western Washington. I'm in Spokane, a mostly Repub town.

None of which has anything whatsoever to do with the possibility of dangerous levels of radiation dropping out of the sky over my family. I was hoping some smart freeper would post scientific evidence to the contrary, but all I'm getting is political opinion.

In the medical research field, "peer-review" means that a manuscript is sent to experts who are knowledgable about the specific topic of the manuscript, who review it for clarity of writing, methodology, and scientific accuracy before a decision is made whether to accept it for publishing.

This "International Journal of Health Services" is not, as far as I can tell, peer-reviewed. The author mentioned, Joseph Mangano, has not, as far as I can tell from a PubMed search, ever published an article in a peer-reviewed journal.

Re: peer review.

The International Journal of Health Services is NOT a medical journal. If you check out the publisher’s website, and the list of the articles in previous editions, you’ll see what I mean.

Frances Fox Piven is on their Editorial Board. She is one of the peers.
