Fair trial by one's peers?

Abstract

The time has come for us to take a serious look at the institution of peer review. It is not a good way to catch misconduct or outright fraud in science, because the reviewer quite naturally accepts the account of how and why the research was done. But detecting fraud is not the purpose of peer review.
