note = "Funding Information: The use of peer reviewers is considered the “gold standard” in publishing to ensure that scholarly work is rigorous, accurate, and novel. In a recent issue of the Scholarly Kitchen, a blog sponsored by the Society for Scholarly Publishing, 1Melinda Baldwin, a physicist, was interviewed about her recent publication about the history of peer review. 2 Dr Baldwin pointed out that while use of peers to review published work began in the mid-19th century with a few scholarly societies, widespread adoption of peer review publications did not occur until the 1970s. Peer review of manuscripts was widely adopted at the same time that research funding institutions like the National Institutes of Health were using peer reviewers to “judge” the credibility of grant applications. Peer review in journals was felt to be one way of justifying to funders the truthfulness and value of the grants they had funded. 2 Wide-spread adoption of peer review in both research and clinical journal articles became common place by the 1980s.",
