Session six

A thought: why not try peer review our peer reviews? I.e. can the reviewer expect some comments on whether his/her comments where useful?

It seems like I am running out of things to write about. One more thought, however: a problem with data analysis in some of our research is that we rely on doing it alone. Since we are already peer reviewing each other articles, why not extend it to peer reviewing each others data? What I mean, specifically, is that it may be beneficial for some to have another person look try to collect data from some conten (document), to see if reliability is not a problem, or to offer some tips on the formating finding in Excel or such... a long shot, and I am still working on it, but it may be something to talk about in the class.

Peer review of data? What about confidentiality and anonymity? Would the IRB/KGB/CIA/FBI approve?

Hah, good question. But 1) it should be possible to prepeare data with anonymity (for example, stripping IDs but not doing anything else). And 2) in such informal study group, would IRB care? Would IRB want to care...?
