Peer Review and Revise Conclusions

A first draft of a science conclusion is rarely the best draft. Even careful scientists hand their conclusions to other scientists for review before publishing — this is called peer review. A good peer reviewer is honest, specific, and kind. The goal is not to prove the writer wrong; the goal is to make the conclusion stronger so the science it carries is clearer to everyone who reads it.
