Peer review is an important part of the scientific process. Other scientists appraise and critique studies, before publication in a journal. Research that has not gone through this process is not as reputable and may be flawed. How do you confront a group member or peer in a lab about using non peer-reviewed material in research? How could you intervene and prevent the spread of bad science?
