Question

Scientists review the work of other scientists to

ensure the results are in agreement with accepted scientific beliefs

guarantee federal funding by supporting each other's work

keep the science community better informed

validate the results and check the evidence's reliability

Answer 1

What do you think?

Answer 2

idk

Answer 3

I'm sure you can eliminate at least a few of the answers...

Answer 4

mmmmm

Answer 5

B;)

Answer 6

B is unlikely. Scientists are very competitive, and federal funding is pretty hard to guarantee anyway!

If one of your friends were to ask you to check over an essay or homework assignment, what would you be doing?

Answer 7

tbh yeah i would

Answer 8

i tink it A

Answer 9

Science would never move forward if scientists just checked each other's work to make sure it fit with old theories.

Answer 10

so wats the answer lol

Answer 11

Only one of the answers given actually makes sense...

Answer 12

C?

Answer 13

They don't need to do any peer review work to stay informed.

Answer 14

so its D

Answer 15

u have me guessing lol

Answer 16

?

Answer 17

You need to understand the question, not guess. Peer review is a HUGE and essential part of science, and it's basically the only technique we have to make sure that the studies that get published are done properly and are likely to have yielded valid results.

Answer 18

ohkkayy :)

Answer 19

Come on... have you never heard/read about what scientists actually do? There are always lots of science stories in the media.

Answer 20

honeslty idk no nothing about science

Answer 21

Science is basically a process that people can use to learn more about the world. Since it's important to get valid information (a badly-done experiment can give you results that aren't true), scientists check each other's work in a process called peer review. They look over the results and try to repeat the experiment.

If we didn't have this process, any scientist could just say anything and nobody would know if it was true or not.
