NEW PUBLIC SERVICE RESOURCE TO HELP EVALUATE ACCURACY OF SCIENTIFIC CLAIMS NOW AVAILABLE

“The Association of American Publishers and five preeminent scholarly publishing member organizations are sponsoring a new public service guide that explains how to evaluate scientific claims promoted in the media. I Don’t Know What to Believe, launching nationally today and available free of charge in digital format, offers a straightforward approach to assessing the accuracy of science stories. It also explains the process called “Peer Review” conducted on manuscripts submitted for publication in fact-based scholarly journals: a formal, careful system, funded and led by publishers, which analyzes and approves the quality of research and reporting in an article before it is accepted for publication.”
