The Scrutiny of Scientists’ Performance

Question: How does one recognise good science?
Theme: Today you’re the author and I’m the reader, tomorrow it’ll be the other way round

How do we know if we can trust scientific findings? The quality control in science follows a specific process: the peer-review. This means that scientists judge the work of their colleagues in their discipline, which leads to a complex situation of mutual assessment, anonymous criticism, and competition.
The Peer-Review module looks behind the scenes and shows, in a video installation, what really goes on in this assessment process. Discover the theatre of scientific evaluation!
