Attitides towards peer review.
The Australian Commonwealth Minister for Health called on the Australian Medical standards in Australia. Among the initial responses of the AMA was the organization of a National Seminar of Peer Review. Participants were asked to identify questions they would like to have answered about peer review and about aspects of a peer review system which they would perceive as necessary for its acceptability. Responses to these questions are analyzed and discussed. Implications for the introduction of peer review in Australia are examined, and strategies for gaining the commitment of the profession to the implementation of peer review are suggested.
