For Peer Review Week 2023, EASE partnered with Editage to promote an infographic by David Burbridge, ‘A brief history of peer review’, a summary of the crucial developments in peer review and its prospects.
Scholarly journals using a kind of peer review date back to the 1600s, but peer review as we know it only appeared in the 1950s. Since then, the peer-reviewed paper has been the gold standard of reliable research reporting.
