Abstract
Despite its many imperfections, the peer review process is a firmly established quality control system for scientific literature. It gives readers some assurance that the work and views that are reported meet standards that are acceptable to a journal. Maureen Revington’s editorial in a recent issue of the Australian Veterinary Journal (Revington Citation2002) gives a good concise “warts and all” overview of the process and is well worth reading.
