Research peer review: a committee when none is required.
Good research does not occur in isolation. The researcher should choose one or more reviewers to serve as quality monitors of the process. The reviewer(s) should be carefully chosen, and the relationship should be nurtured. When the research is not enhanced by the relationship, new reviewers should be sought even if this delays the research process. A good study has enough glory to share with all reviewers, and a poor study is a heavy burden to bear alone.
