Another source: THE NEW RECYCLING UNIVERSE, John G. Cramer. Analog is rather far from being a peer-reviewed journal, but the science columns get pretty-well picked over. I relied on this article for some of my recent posts. Cramer says:

The Big Bang model, as a result of its turbulent super-high-density initial phase, should produce in its early stages a cosmic flood of gravitational radiation, and this should show up as polarization of the electromagnetic cosmic background radiation. The Steinhardt-Turok model predicts no such gravity waves and polarization. If that polarization of the microwave background is found, the Big Bang model gains strong experimental support. On the other hand, if no such polarization is present, the Steinhardt-Turok cyclic model receives similar support.
