Cancer research is an ever-evolving field that involves complex biological systems and novel therapeutic approaches. Peer review helps in:
- Ensuring Accuracy: By critically evaluating the research, peer reviewers help in identifying any errors or inconsistencies in the data or methodology. - Maintaining Quality: High-quality research is essential for developing effective cancer treatments. Peer review acts as a filter to ensure only credible and valuable research is published. - Preventing Fraud: Peer review reduces the risk of fraudulent or misleading studies being published, thereby protecting the integrity of scientific literature.
