Editor's Notes
- Peer reviewed … also referred to as academic or scholarly.
- If the president were looking for a policy recommendation, who would he ask? Your classmate or a university professor with a ten million dollar grant who has been conducting original research on the matter for the past five years? Audience matters. This is how science gets done. Real scientists participate in these conversations.
