Use of peer review to evaluate research outcomes

Research Evaluation, 1993, vol. 3, issue 3, 173-177

Abstract: This paper examines the use by the Australian Research Council of peer review as a tool to evaluate the outcomes of its research grants. Despite the difficulties involved in selecting reviewers and a tendency for them to be ‘diplomatic’ the process works well. Peer review is widely accepted in Australia and at no point in the current program has any researcher indicated that they would prefer to be evaluated in any other way.
