    A claim to knowledge is deemed scientific only after it has cleared the hurdle of peer review. Regarding the evaluation of claims, peer review is the most critical institution in science. In this session, we look at this institution from different points of view, again focusing on the practice of science (as opposed to abstract, general principles). What are the roles of the authors, referees, and the editors? How do you prepare a manuscript for publication? How do you respond to reviews? How do you write a review yourself?
