Sense About Science believes that peer review is an essential arbiter of scientific quality and that information about the status of research results is as important as the findings themselves. They have a very serious commitment to popularising an understanding of how scientific quality is assessed. To this end, they have recently published a short guide to peer review. It will arm students, and anyone else that uses it, with the tools to question science stories from the media.
